This is an extreamly good encyclopedia of modern military weapons since 1945 called The Encyclopedia of Modern Military Weapons by Chris Bishop

It has planes, tanks, guns and navel vessels; over 1,000 modern military weapons and weapon systems! I reccomend it because its a great book!

Has anyone found any good world war two books that they own all about weapons and weapon systems? maybe an encyclopedia? This book is a hard cover book that was published in 1999 so it it won't have F-35's or F/A-22's! No wildcats or panzers either!
