OFTEN IMITATED...NEVER BETTERED...and never more relevant!

abc Military Aircraft Markings 2003
Peter R. March & Howard J. Curtis

The new Military Aircraft Markings has been fully revised to include
the huge number of changes that have affected military serials over
the past year. The past decade has witnessed a dramatic shift in the
focus of Britain's military air power; gone is the threat posed from
the Warsaw Pact, to be replaced by peace keeping and peace
implementation roles in a number of theatres throughout the world.
As in previous years, despite reductions in the size of the Royal Air
Force, its range of commitments remain. Apart form the continuing
presence in the South Atlantic, 20 years after enforcement of the UN
no-fly zones in Iraq. Moreover, with the War against Terrorism
consequent upon the attacks on New York and Washington in September,
the RAF has seen service in Afghanistan and has been called into
action against Iraq in a more determined form now that the US has
pushed ahead with its policy of endeavouring to engineer `Regime
Change' in that country.
Reflecting the continuing debate about Britain's defence capabilities
is Military Aircraft Markings with its comprehensive listing of all
of Britain's military aircraft and helicopters. Apart from the RAF
Military Aircraft Markings also includes information on the aircraft
of the Royal Navy, the Army Air Corps, the USAF in Britain and
Europe, the Irish Air Corps, Western European air forces and much
else. With such rapid change affecting not just Britain's forces,
but those of other nations as well, the new Military Aircraft
Markings is essential for the enthusiast wishing to keep up to date.
