RAF Fighters of World War 2

Beginning with the famous Gloster Gladiator, the Royal Air Force's last biplane fighter, and finishing with its first operational jet, the Meteor, this book is a concise but detailed guide to every type of aircraft used as a fighter by the RAF during the last war. The development and service history of each is described, together with tables of performance figures and other data. The immortal Spitfire and Hurricane naturally have their place, as well as many others, all of which are illustrated by original wartime photographs.
