The development of flying technology from the First World War saw the demise of the slower more cumbersome aircraft and the advent of the comparatively fast Albatross, Fokker, Sopwith and Spad fighters, plus bombers such as the Handley Page, Caproni and Gotha. These outstanding machines and those of the Second World War led ultimately to the MIG 15 of the 1950s, the ill-fated TSR2 and the Swing Wing F-111. A well used but useful reference tool.
