Jane’s Fighting Aircraft of World War Two

316pp, copiously illustrated. In laminated, pictorial boards. Folio. Front hinge very slightly loosened at base. Small corner stain affecting last dozen or pages. In its original dust jacket, lightly bumped and rubbed on extreme edges, with a little shelf wear and price clipped. This edition of Jane’s Fighting Aircraft of World War Two has been reproduced from the 1945/6 edition of ‘Jane’s All the World’s Aircraft’, which was the first wholly uncensored issue of the famous book to appear since the opening of hostilities in 1939. The original volume was delayed to allow for inclusion of information from reports from the Allied Nations, Germany and Japan. This volume has been reformatted and incorporates amendments and additions, but it still largely represents what was known at the time.
