ATTACK and INTERCEPTOR JETS by Michael Sharpe I would recommend this book to someone who is interested in fighter jet planes. The book has an introduction which tells you about the things inside the book and the history of jet planes. It is a good book to read and it tells you about army forces and the jets within the world. It would be hard to read if you could not read to level 11, as I found it hard to read. Tom O |

The book also shows details of how fast the ships can move, for example 11 knots. Tom O |
