10 planes

[kontiuka]

When I was a kid in the mid-eighties, I got a book as a present that featured 10 military jets. I wish I could remember the name of that book but it really kindled my interest in military aviation. Anyways, if I recall correctly, the list of planes was, in no particular order ...

 

F-14

F-15

F-16

F-18

Mirage-2000

Viggen

Panavia Tornado

Harrier

Mig-23

B-1B

 

I just realized that with the latest news updates from RAZBAM, 6 of these childhood loves will become a reality in DCS as full fidelity sims! C'mon ED and third parties, lets do a sweep of all 10! :D

6? I think it is 8.

 

The only ones not remotely hinted at by any dev are the F-16* and B-1B.

 

Everything else is in progress in some form, five of them by Razbam (although one of those five might be tackled by Polychop).

 

 

*Do not say ED, their F16 is clearly a cancelled or Government-only project at this point.

Is this the book?

 

 

I suspect so since it contains the same 10 you mentioned. :)

 

It's still a great book to thumb through and I remember having the same thought as you - ED and 3rd Parties are creating an awesome collection of aircraft that are very much to my taste (late Cold War - aircraft of my youth).

 

Glad to see I am in good company...:D

Thanks so much! Same book but a different cover. :)

Perhaps you're thinking of "The Great Book Of Combat Aircraft" ?

 

The full volume is about two inches thick and they also published each chapter as individual books.

No, BlackLion found the book I was thinking of.
