FLIGHT International, 30 August 1962 61 JUST PUBLISHED ^ This book opens with an extensive account of the work undertaken by Reconnaissance, Artillery Spotting and Bomber types, and continues with a full description of seventy-two aircraft of the various nations engaged in the 1914-1918 War. In each case there is a half-page group of five photographs and a half-page of text facing a 1/72 scale three-view line drawing.

In addition, over forty less familiar Reconnaissance and Bomber aircraft are described with photographs and text. Then follow well illustrated chapters on the specialised equipment used on many of these aircraft such as armament, bombs, cameras, etc. There is also an illustrated chapter on camouflage and markings.
