From the publisher: Following on the successful X-Planes of Europe, Tony Buttler adds a second volume of fighter and bomber prototypes.
Aircraft from Britain, France, Italy, Switzerland and the former Yugoslavia range from the diminutive Ikarus jet prototypes to the imposing BAC TSR.2, piston-powered French Arsenal VB 10 to the Hispano HA-300.
FSM says: Aviation leapt forward in the years after World War II, with new ideas rising as fast as speed and altitude records fell. Buttler describes many of those projects with photos, drawings, and detailed text. Modelers will enjoy the pictures, historians will revel in stories of what might have been.
