The "Detail & Scale" series of publications was the first to focus its attention on the many physical details of aircraft, such as cockpit interiors, radar and avionics installations, armament, landing gear, wheel wells, and ejection seats. These details are covered more thoroughly than in any other series, and are presented in the form of close-up photography and line drawings. Special consideration is given to the detail differences between the variants and sub-variants of the aircraft.
This detailed coverage is supplemented with scale drawings that show five full views. Charts and tables provide extensive amounts of technical data, making this series one of the most complete technical references on aircraft that is available.
Although a brief historical summary is always presented, it is not intended to be all inclusive. It will, however, provide the most important dates and events in the development and operational life of each aircraft.
For scale modelers, a complete modeler's section is provided that reviews all the presently available scale model kits of the aircraft, and covers the decals available for these kits. Other features such as how to do conversions and how to make kit corrections are also often included.
The "Detail & Scale" series is detailed, technical, and accurate, providing the most comprehensive covereage of this nature that is available anywhere in aviation publications.
