Civil Aircraft Recognition

Rating:
Summary: Nicely designed, but doesn't cover my planes
Review: This is a nice pocket sized book organized for quick identification of a variety of civil aircraft. In practice, this means a lot of modern small jets and private planes are included as well as the commercial jets. Unfortunately, no coverage whatever is given to any classic planes (pre-1960?), nor to some of the models frequently seen overhead here in the US. It does include many planes I have never seen in my life. These must be part of the UK scene.

So overall, this book is of no use to me, but might be just the ticket if you want to spot 747's or corporate jets or Piper Cherokees.
