Jane's Aircraft Recognition Guide Book

This is the second of the Jane's Aircraft Recognition Guide. Unfortunately, planes are not separated into types or shapes but listed in alphabetical order of manufacturers and this make it difficult to identify a particular aircraft. This is not a recognition guide as per its title but a catalogue of most of the planes actually flying (civil and military). The pictures are in B&W and there are only a few technical data, nothing much about engines, power, and performances. This is disappointing.
