Delve into the origins, development, and operations of the iconic aircraft, with stories of the brave crew members that flew in them and made these aircraft the legends they have become today. Focussing on the aircraft of both the Allies and the Axis powers, it contains fascinating insights into the technological advances and tactical roles these iconic aircraft would play in the war.             In association with Imperial War Museums, the history of these key aircraft is examined; from the early years of the war, when outdated biplanes were still flying in combat, to the development of advanced jet aircraft. This impactful book looks at the performance of both famous and lesser known aircraft, weaving together the story of aerial conflict, when mastery of the air created the need to fly faster, further and higher, carrying increasingly more weapons, pushing both Allied and Axis powers to the limit in the quest to develop the ultimate aircraft of World War Two.
