The history of combat aircraft in a complete overview!

From the fragile biplanes and single-seaters of the Great War to the combat aircraft of the Second World War, from the jets of the Cold War to the fighters and stealth aircraft deployed in the Balkans, Iraq, Afghanistan, or more recently, in Libya or Mali, this encyclopaedic work retraces all the technological advances that have marked over a century of military aviation. Richly illustrated with 750 photos, drawings and technical diagrams, this new, fully updated edition presents the 5th generation aircraft (such as the Eurofighter Typhoon, the Sukhoi 57 or the F-35 Lightning II), the laser-guided combat drones using artificial intelligence, without forgetting to mention the New Generation Fighter program. The latter was initiated as part of the Future Air Combat System, which aims to develop 6th generation aircraft.
