Allied Fighters of World War II offers a compact yet authoritative survey of the French, British, Russian and U.S. fighter types that shaped the air war, describing design, development and combat employment across multiple theaters of World War II. Combining identification-focused entries with operational anecdotes and comparative performance detail, the book places each aircraft in its historical context—how doctrine, production and battlefield demands influenced the evolution and use of Allied fighters during the conflict.
Written by noted aviation author Bill Gunston, this 1992 Salamander Books (London) hardcover (159 pages) serves as an illustrated technical reference and aircraft-recognition guide: heavily illustrated with technical drawings, aircraft profiles and wartime photographs, and supplemented by tabular specifications and performance data for quick comparison. Bibliographic details: ISBN-13 9780831750503; also issued as The New Illustrated Guide to Allied Fighters of World War II.

Before you enlist a new title into your personal library, check the Condition Report below to see how much action these volumes have seen:
New: Fresh Out of Bootcamp
Flawless and untested. This book is in pristine, new condition and ready for its first assignment.
Like New: Light Combat Experience
Almost new and in great shape. It has clearly been read before and is ready to fight again, but it shows very little wear from its time in the field.
Good: A Few Scars or Shell Shock
A reliable veteran. The book might have some bent corners or a dust cover with a few scratches, but it’s still sturdy and standing tall.
Fair: Battle-Hardened
Visible signs of a long campaign. Expect some stains, bent pages, and perhaps some minor tears on the cover. It’s seen the trenches, but the intel inside is still solid.
Poor: Survived Iwo Jima
This one has been through the meat grinder. It carries noticeable damage, heavy staining, or significant wear—but like any old soldier, it would love to be read one last time before it retires.
