Author Description

The thirty-third annual edition of Military Aircraft Markings lists, in alphabetical and numerical order, military aircraft covering powered, manned airplanes, helicopters, airships, and gliders as well as target drones. It includes aircraft that carry a UK military serial and are based, or might be seen, in the United Kingdom. It also includes RAF, RN and Army aircraft that are based permanently or temporarily overseas. Aircraft withdrawn from operational use but retained in the UK for training purposes or preserved in museums and collections are included. The Irish Army Air Corps fleet is listed, along with US Air Force, US Army, and US Navy aircraft based in the UK and Western Europe. Types that regularly visit the UK from the United States are each listed in separate sections by aircraft type. An invaluable work of reference that will be an essential purchase for all followers of military aviation development both at home and overseas and an ideal pocket guide for this season’s air shows.
