Post Description

There are countless books on the F-16 flooding the military aviation book market. Many deal with the research and development of the jet, others cover the operational life of the jet, while still others give the model builders invaluable reference material for building that perfect scale replica. The quality of these books, including the detail books aimed at model builders, ranges from very, very good, to very, very bad. There are already a few that have come and gone over the years, and a couple that are still readily available through various book stores and hobby shops. However, the quality of these books sometimes leaves a lot to be desired. Covering the F-16, a jet that has been on the front-lineof Air Forces worldwide, and served in countless conflicts across the globe since 1979, thoroughly, is impossible to do in one book. The jet has undergone a myriad of update and service life extension programs over the years, making any single book outdated and obsolete within a few years.
