The Cold War era was an era of innovation in military technology. Military aircraft included. During this era we see a lot of new aircraft design, stealth fighter and bomber was designed during this era.

Military Aircraft of the Cold War attempts to document this fact, covering 121 aircraft. What is in the book ? Check out the following review from Military Modelling.

"So what about the book then?  Well, each subject has a two-page spread and it is arranged simply in alphabetical sections, Aerospatiale to Boeing, British Aerospace to Douglas, English Electric to Martin and so on.  Every spread has a section for a simple introduction, then a photo file highlighting the main features of the aircraft and a more extensive Profile that details the history of the development and service for each type.  Then add panels for Facts and Figures, including speed, range, ceiling, armament, powerplant(s) and dimensions, along with one on Combat Data which compares it with two other similar aircraft types.  So for example the C-130 Hercules is compared with the smaller C-123 Provider and the larger C-141 Starlifter.  The classic Lightning is compared with the Mirage III and the Swedish Draken."
