This makes you aware of how many advanced planes went into service; how each one has specializations. There are U.S. P-47s, German Me 262s, British Vampire jets, U.S. F8U Crusaders… All start with sidebars of basic specs, in operation, on the flightline and with various ordnance loads. Each is accompanied by pilot experiences and theaters where the planes operated.
The final entry is the Lockheed-Martin F/A-22 Raptor. All-in-all, it shows the progression of aeronautical design; it is very educational.
