From the introduction: The Aircraft in Action series is a new concept. Between the covers of this book will be found some of the finest photographs of aircraft ever taken. Text has been kept to a minimum, since we feel that there are many books available dealing with the aircraft in detail, but lacking in photos that the discriminating collector and modeler is seeking. These photographs come from many sources and show primarily aircraft under operational conditions. At least 90 percent of the photographs in this book have never been published before.

The Hawker Sea Fury belongs to a select group of piston-cngined fighter aircraft whose general performance reflected the ultimate from this form of fighter aircraft power plant. It is an irony that the Royal Navy became the primary operator of the aircraft, since it was originally designed for the Royal Air Force as part of the succession of fighter aircraft from Hawker that started with the Fury biplane and included the Hurricane, Typhoon and Tempest.

The Liberator was conceived in January 1939, when General "Hap" Arnold invited Consolidated to come up with a design superior to Boeing's Flying Fortress. The company's preliminary data was impressive enough to warrant a contract for a prototype, and the design team under Isaac Laddon went to work in earnest. Their first consideration was range, and they selected the wing designed by David Davis for its great efficiency; the wings were shoulder mounted, allowing a capacious fuselage, and a twin rudder and fin assembly was chosen. The aircraft had a tricycle undercarriage and the bomb bay was divided into front and rear compartments, with unique roller-type doors which retracted up the sides from the central keel beam. In the first Liberator, Consolidated Model 32, there was provision for a few hand-held .30-caliber machine guns, and the gleaming prototype, dubbed XB-24 by the Air Corps, flew for the first time on December 29, 1939. By then the Air Corps had already placed an order for seven YB-24s, and thirty-six B-24As for evaluation. The French and British ordered 284 aircraft between them.

Remembering different Soviet Aircraft can be confusing. The MiG fighter planes are usually the best remembered. One of MiG bureau's main competitors is the Sukhoi Bureau, which made the Su - 7 series of fighter bombers, Su-25 Close Air Support plane (similar to our A-10) and the most famous, the Su-27 Flanker. Part of the confusion comes from NATO code names of these planes. All Su-7 and variants are called "Fitter". This book explains in one page and answers a lot of the questions. The early history and development of the Su -7 fighter bomber are covered, along with excellent line drawings, B&W photos (some grainy) of the planes and 2 pages of color plates to show camouflage schemes.
