Fantastic Planes and How to Identify Them

[This is the third edition. If you already have the first or second edition, contact the author directly via the email address provided in the "Forewords" section of your book for updating to the latest edition.]

 

On 17th June 2011, South Korean soldiers fired upon a civilian passenger airliner after mistaking it for a North Korean military aircraft. On 1st September 1983, a Soviet fighter pilot shot down a civilian Boeing 747 after misidentifying it for a U.S. spy plane. Incorrectly identifying planes can be fatal, and has already killed hundreds of innocent people. But how exactly do you recognize different types of aircraft? They all look the same, right? Airbus just means a big plane, that is why it is called bus, right? 

WRONG. 

Fantastic Planes and How to Identify Them is all about visually identifying planes. It contains historical backgrounds, diagrams, characteristics and identification guidances of around seventy types of aircraft. If you are a person with a gun watching out for enemy aircraft, this book is a must for you (and please use this book to identify planes before shooting). If you are an airline crew or airplane enthusiast, then this book should be a really enjoyable read for you. Or if you simply want to stay away from the Boeing 737 MAX 8 but do not know how it looks, then this book will be really helpful.
