The World's Greatest Aircraft (1991) By Christopher Chant
 
Which are the finest aircraft ever to have flown? The finest military aircraft, the finest airliners, the finest planes of today, and yesterday? This book answers these questions comprehensively, and with photographs and illustrations that help convey just what is so special about each aircraft.

Over 250 of the world's most important, influential aircraft, from the first powered aircraft, the Wright Brothers 'Flyer, to Northrop's highly advanced B-2 stealth bomber. Commercial aircraft such as the Douglas DC-3 Dakota and the new A380 double-decker Airbus are detailed, as are many of the classic fighters and bombers from World War II, such as the Supermarine Spitfire, North American P-51 Mustang, and Boeing B-17 Fortress.

All the essential details are here. Fascinating histories of the design, development, manufacture, and service life of each aircraft are accompanied by a technical specification highlighting its most important variants. Each is illustrated by a large and detailed color side-view artwork, a three-view general arrangement line drawing, and supported with additional photographs.
