Aircraft Recognition

Can anyone recommend a decent aircraft recognition book for airliners, or a website. I have done a search on here but came up with nothing.

Try 'Jane's Aircraft Recognition Guide'. Widely available. Bit bulky, so not exactly a pocket guide, and also a little small to be comprehensive, but it does cram in a lot of GA and military types too along with those funny egg-beater sort of creations.

Flygplankort

Personally, I have found this Swedish book very useful although it is around five years old now: http://www.flygvapenmuseum.se/forsal...#flygplanskort

Contains most aircraft currently flying - both military and civil. So if the language is not a problem...

Good way to brush up is !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There's a random photo selector at the bottom. Quite good for testing yourself.
