The F-16: Volume 2 - Fighting Falcon C to F Versions (Les Avions de Combat Americains)

Comprehensive, useful information on virtually every aspect of the later models of the super successful (over 4,500 built of all variants) F-16. This fighter used by 25 air forces, is one of the mainstays for the the U. S. Air force and so many others. The photographs are a fine selection, with many I've never seen before. The artwork is quite good, but not quite excellent.The main shortcoming is the editing. There are so many mislabeled profiles with errors not only on the proper production blocks (like confusing Block 40 (GE engine) with Block 42 (with P & W engine) but even the wrong model -- mixing up F-16E and-F and F-16Ds and -Is. The drawings of the E and F models, used exclusively by the United Arab Emirates, are flawed, too. The infra-red seekers that are part of what distinguishes them are missing, as are other sensors. Overall the book is a worthwhile work, but a little care would have made it much better. Looks a bit like a rush job.

I an enjoying this book as it covers latest F-16s and calls them out by block numbers - not something I often saw. However, this book has some rough edges. Being translated from French, some captions and text is a bit rough. Also, I wish there were more cockpit/avionics photos.

Great book, fast shipping

Excellent book.

This was Christmas present for my husband. He loved it!

Excellent book with great photos!!!

Concise and well illustrated description of the F-16, up to the high standards I've come to expect from this publisher.

Der erste Band konnte schon durch seine ausführlichen Berichte und technische Aspekte überzeugen.Der Zweite schließt sich dem in gwohnt professioneller Manier an. Endlich werden auch die C bzw. D Varianten derF-16 ausführlich dargestellt. Abgerundet wird dieser Band durch hervorragende Fotos die auch für den Modellbastler sehrhilfreich sein können. Zum Schluß werden sämtliche Export-Varianten und ihre spezifischen Merkmale veranschaulicht.Für Fans der F-16 Fighting Falcon eine klare Kaufempfehlung.

A great book at a good price
