Aircraft Recognition

by R. A. Saville-Sneath

Under the special conditions of modern warfare in World War II interest in the identity of aircraft was not confined to members of the armed services. A desire to be able to distinguish with certainty between friendly and hostile aircraft was widespread and natural.

The continual growth in the number and variety of types in military use at the time increased the complexity of the problem and suggested the need for a generally accessible introductory handbook to the subject.

The author therefore endeavored to assemble the essential material in a form which was hoped would prove both convenient and readable.

Originally published in February 1941.
