5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent overview on Axis aircraft.
Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2019
Verified Purchase
Mondey covers a wide variety of Axis aircraft with excellent illustrations, photos and detailed synopsis of the major types. He also covers many lesser know types as well. Certainly an excellent reference for the student of WW II. I have other books on WW II aircraft, but Mondey offers nicely detailed descriptions of each type and the roles, short comings and positive attributes each plane encompassed. He has some pithy comments too, such as his comment on the Mitsubishi G4M Betty in the later half of the war, going from "a potent bomber into a useless flaming torch" which was certainly the case due to lack of armour, defensive armament and a lack of self-sealing fuel tanks. It is a worthwhile addition to anyone's WW II library of books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Found it interesting

I bought this originally to serve as a reference for scale modeling but once I started flipping through it i ended up finding it an interesting read. Most books I use as references typically include just pictures and specifications. This book went so much further by providing a thorough analysis of most Axis aircraft. I think anyone remotely interested in aeronautic history would enjoy it - and with prices starting at $.96 on Amazon you can't go wrong.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great general reference book
Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2009

When looking around for general books about Axis aircraft of WWII I was not coming up with many results. I found this one and was pleased with my purchase. It covers all the main aircraft and their specifications. Good pictures and drawings. It doesnt get into super detail of every plane, but as a general reference for this subject it is a good and inexpensive book to ad to the aviation library :)

5.0 out of 5 stars One of three valuable volumes
Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2014

I have all three volumes of this series and treasure them. I was surprised that the entries were not by country of origin but alphabetical. Nations such as Romania seem to have been overlooked. A volume for "the rest" including British Commonwealth, Russian, Romania, France and Holland would complete the series.

An essential reference guide for the model builder. Great photos and artwork. The British and American editions are also outstanding. The Axis version is the bargain of the three.

5.0 out of 5 stars la "Bible" des avions de l'"Axe" que je cherchais depuis longtemps !!!
Reviewed in France on May 3, 2021

Ravi par ce Fantastique petit "concentré " de TOUS les avions des 3 puissances de" l'AXE" de la 2e guerre mondiale !
"Bible" que - en tant que maquettiste et collectionneur- je cherchais depuis des années :
Merci M. D.Mondey ! Cela me rappelle les "Marabout Junior" sur le mêmes thèmes mais en plus GRAND et EN MIEUX !
Les dessins sont SUPERBES et tous "répertoriés" historiquement = dates + théâtres d'opération : un travail précis, détaillé et ARTISTIQUE ! Les commentaires sont concis : juste ce qu'il faut.
Un seul "bémol" : la couverture amovible ( de protection ? je ne connais pas le nom exact ) a "rosi" avec le temps mais - pas grave : la vraie couverture est intacte avec son beau rouge d'origine et l'intérieur est impeccable !
A noter : ce recueil n'est pas écrit en espagnol MAIS EN ANGLAIS .
Et Merci aussi pour la livraison ce matin ( 03/05/21) normalement prévue dans 15 Jours !!!
Vraiment un EXCELLENT second choix pour ce prix !

Great book that shows the different aircraft types would be great in a history class covering world war 2 and a great reference also for model makers of world war 2 aircraft and the authentic camouflage patterns

Well, you culd pay 200 quid for a book that covered all the major types and minor. Their specificatins and history.
This book dosnt cover how many sorties the L 1 vigilante saw in the pacific arena, but it certainly gives bang for the buck.

If you are even vaughly interested in WW2 aircraft, the only reason why you already fail to own this book and its equivilents, i simply because you dont care enough. Call yourself a air enthusiast? PAH!

Try saying that again with a straight face Mr Dont-Own-David-Monday-books. You simply look ridiculous.

Buy now or forever be labled a total loser.
