This book tells the story of the development, aircraft specification and service history of the F-35 and all its variations.

The book is lavishly illustrated with photographs and line drawings, many of which are stunning, and I have not seen anywhere before.

The history covers all areas from concept and development to meet the needs of the modern air forces. It shows the various prototypes and programs that directly lead to the F-35.

The chapters on the engines were very interesting and provided a lot of information.

The various chapters on the various operators give insight into the variations for the air forces modifications for their missions. This gives great insights and how they incorporated them into their existing squadrons.

I highly recommend this book as it gives as many details as available on the F-35 in the public domain. Thank you to IPMS USA and Pen and Sword for allowing me to review this great book.
