My recommended reading

[F22]

This book is my favorite book out of any flight and space flight books I have.

 

This is the front

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Great 5 page long intro complete with individual info on every generation of fighter, pics included.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There is about 30 different planes in this book, here is a favorite of mine along with the raptor.. I'm loving these new ones

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here's the mig 31, I was surprised to find the 21 not in the book even though this is the later gen

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thats basically it but there's alot of verified info on the planes that is factual as compared to what ive read about alot of them on the internet.

A very good fictional story of flying in WW1 by Ernest Gann is ,In the Company of Eagles.. great read,
