The book, The All Color World Of Aircraft, is a richly illustrated publication that tells the amazing story of "Man's conquest of the air" and how in the 80 years since the first flight of the primitive Wright Flyer, modern jet fighters are capable of flying at more than three times the speed of sound.  The author relates how rapid advances in military aircraft have had a positive impact in the development of civil commercial aircraft making intercontinental travel a matter of hours rather than days or weeks.  Also covered in detail are the fighters and bombers that were flown in World War I and World War II, as well as, modern more powerful and sophisticated military jets.  The growth of civilian aviation from the open cockpit aircraft to the supersonic Concorde is also reviewed.  The major sections of this book are as follows: 1) The beginnings; 2) Fighter aircraft 1914 - 1938; 3) Pioneer passenger airliners; 4) War in the air 1939-1945; 5) Bombers and military transports; 6) Airliners in the jet age; 7) The jet fighter story; 8) Light and special purpose plane; 9) Helicopters and jump jets and 10) Index.  In addition to an informative narrative, "The All Color World Of Aircraft" includes the following features: 1) Approximately 81 color photographs; 2) About 8 black and white illustrations and 3) Approximately 34 color illustrations.  Also included in this book are seven larger color illustrations complete with specifications for the following aircraft: 1) Royal Aircraft Factory SE-5a; 2) Sopwith Camel; 3) Vickers Supermarine Spitfire; 4) Focke-wulf Fw 190 A-3; 5) Ilyushin II-2m3; 6) Boeing B-52 H Stratofortres and 7) McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II.  This book is 104 pages and is in very good condition.  The author is David Mondey.  Edition published in 1978.
