Part of the prestigious Aviation Factfile series, this volume catalogs the jet fighters, strategic bombers, reconnaissance aircraft, and transport planes that defined the aerial arms race between NATO and the Warsaw Pact, detailing their specifications, operational histories, and the strategic doctrines that drove their development.\n\nGeneral Editor Jim Winchester brings rigorous precision to this sweeping survey, assembling a reference work that is as technically thorough as it is historically compelling. The volume illustrates how advancements in aviation technology were inextricably linked to Cold War geopolitics — from the swept-wing jets of the Korean War era to the supersonic behemoths of the 1980s. For aviation enthusiasts, military historians, and anyone fascinated by the technological arms race that gripped the world for five decades, this is an indispensable guide that raises a compelling question: just how close did these machines bring the world to the brink?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49269334900955,"sku":"9781840139297-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/32160d7d-a735-43c5-b7af-fac2094da375.png?v=1788998292","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9781840139297-secondhand-the-aviation-factfile-military-aircraft-of-the-cold-war","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
