A detailed guide to every weapon carried by aircraft belonging to NATO. This includes weapons of the traditional western members, but also more recent members from the former Warsaw Pact, including Czech Republic, Poland and Hungary. NATO plans to rationalize its weapon stocks but at the beginning of the 21st century it boasts a bewildering variety of different weapons and systems. Every type of air-launched weapon from bomb and missile to torpedo and rocket is illustrated and described, and its specifications and capability presented in an easy-to-compare format. It should be a useful guide for all aircraft enthusiasts, modellers and people interested in the air defence of Europe.
