Overview
NATO Air-Launched Weapons is a detailed, illustrated guide to every weapon currently carried by aircraft belonging to NATO. This includes weapons of the traditional Western members, but also more recent members from the former Warsaw Pact, including Czech Republic, Poland and Hungary. NATO plans to rationalize its weapon stocks but at present it boasts a bewildering variety of different weapons and systems. This invaluable book unravels them. Every type of air-launched weapon from bomb and missile to torpedo and rocket is illustrated and described, and its specifications and capability neatly presented in an easy-to-compare format. It will be an invaluable resource for all aircraft enthusiasts, modellers and people interested in the air defense of Europe.
