Book excerpt: Written by more than 100 international scholars and experts, this two-volume encyclopedia chronicles the individuals, equipment, and drama of nearly a century of aerial combat. A lone World War I ace-scarved and goggled-cranks up his Sopwith Camel on a foggy airfield in France. A jump-suited stealth bomber crew guides its radar-evading craft 10,000 miles to deliver laser-guided bombs against Afghanistan. In the 90 year history of air warfare, only one constant remains: pilots and their planes pushing the envelope of courage and technology. Air Warfare: An International Encyclopedia is the first encyclopedia to document the entire history of aerial combat, from the primitive biplanes of World War I to the sophisticated stealth fighters of the 21st century. The more than 900 entries, lavishly illustrated with photographs and maps, cover it all-the first, the fastest, the highest, the latest.

This volume will prove to be a useful addition to the reference collections of large public libraries, university libraries and history collections.
