BOEING F/A-18 A/B/C/D HORNET (Uncovering the # 2) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the second of a series of books coverning selected fighter aircraft in complete detail. The aouthor's first book covered all aspects of the F-16 and this book does the same for the F/A-18. From the interior of the aircraft including the cockpit, avionics, engine bays, landing gear, radar, etc to numerous exterior photos, there is enough in this book for the modelbuilder to make an accurate replica of the F/A-18. Also helpful are close-up photos of weathered Hornets to get that completely accurate look.
Most of the coverage is on USN/USMC Hornets as they are the primary users, but the Hornet has quite a few international users, including Canada, Spain, Australia, Switzerland, Kuwait, and Finland. It is odd that given Danny Coremans' past life as a crew chief in the Belgian Air Force, most of the photos are of US Hornets and not Spanish Hornets. Still that doesn't detract from the overall quality of the book, as most of the details are the same, except that most international Hornets (both F/A-18A/B and F/A-18 C/D) have a searchlight, something that American Hornets lack.
Buyers of this book should realize that the Superhornet is not covered yet (pretty obvious since the title doesn't mention F/A-18E/F). Here's hoping that Daco can do a book on the Superhornet real soon.
