Crécy is known to be a very respected publisher. Most books from this publisher are thorough and well researched, and this volume is certainly no exception.
The author has done an excellent job here of telling the Jaguar story. Initial design and development is covered here, as is the full service life of the aircraft. Included in the book are gobs of color and black and white images of the Jaguar on the ground and in the air.
As with the majority of titles from this publisher, this is very much a supreme effort, using photos from many varied sources, and there are quite a fair good number of them in this excellent volume. Printed on good quality semi-glossy stock, the photos are quite interesting, highlighting many areas of the air-frame, giving both modelers and aviation enthusiasts alike, a rather fascinating glimpse into this tremendous aircraft, though certainly not a walk around book.
Numerous publications have been produced over the years dealing with the excellent Sepecat Jaguar, and this volume adds quite nicely to that body of work.
Photo Samples
Lots of data is offered up here; from initial design concepts and philosophy through final manufacturing methods and derivatives. All in all, the Jaguar has served various nations well.
For those of us with a taste for larger scale aircraft models, there is at this time no mainstream injection kit of the sleek and agile Jag, but perhaps one day...
For those with a passion for the venerable Jaguar, I can highly recommend this volume. Buy a copy, you will not be disappointed.
Summation
On a scale of 1 to 10, I’d rate this book as a solid 10, no question about it. Topping out at a very respectable 280 pages of fascinating Sepecat Jaguar stuff, it is highly recommended.
My review copy compliments of Casemate Publishers. Thanks a ton to Casemate, it's truly an outstanding reference book on this diminutive Douglas designed aircraft, really top-notch stuff.
