From the back cover:"FeaturesIndividually narrates the exciting development history of the Phantom, Hornet and Skyhawk including their entry into general service worldwide.Documents in detail each aircraft's adaptation to Australian service and comprehensively describes its service record.Unique tables document each aircraft individually, its A serial registration, individual version or batch number, where applicable, date of delivery and, most importantly, its eventual fate. The first time this crucially important information has been publicly available.Over 70,000 words of text backed up by some two hundred and fifty illustrations, most of which have never been published."The US designations of these planes are the F-4, F/A-18, and A-4, all products of McDonnell Douglas, now part of Boeing. The book was found in an estate sale of a master model painter, who used this and thousands of other illustrated books and other documents to create realistic models. I would guess that he never got to paint one of these Australian aircraft as the book does not seem to have been read. Photos are of the actual book on offer. See the photos for additional insight into content and condition of this excellent, well-illustrated Australian RAAF fighter plane book.
