The military aircraft featured in this book range from the monoplanes and biplanes of the early 20th century to the state-of-the-art supersonic fighter jets used by air forces around the world today. These aircraft include not only aeroplanes, but also gyrocopters and helicopters. They can be seen at air shows and air displays, or as static exhibits at a variety of locations military and aviation museums, airports, aerodromes and airfields sometimes on an almost daily basis, as they are still in service with their respective air forces. Some aircraft are also located at military installations across the country, where they stand on pedestals and serve as gatekeepers, or in the hands of private individuals, most of which are parts of the aircraft that are on display cockpits, nose cones or parts of the fuselage. The photographs in this book show a wide range of military aircraft from the First World War to the present day, seen in the skies and on the ground in the United Kingdom.
