The Observer's Book of Aircraft

This is one of the most successful of the Observer's Books and probably the title with the most editions for a collector. The book started life entitled “The Observer Book of Airplanes” written by Joseph Lawrence and was issued with this title in 1942, 1943 & 1945. Interestingly this book was not issued as an Observers Series number until 1949. The 1949 edition saw a number of changes, the most notable being the change in the title from Airplanes to Aircraft. It was allocated the number 11 in the Observer's Series and the authors became William Green and Gerald Pollinger.
