Item description from seller

Small, pocket-sized hardcover with dust jacket. 4 x 6 inches. 256 pages. 246 illustrations (as stated on the title page--all black and white). Technical Data. Index. Dust jacket worn around the edges and price clipped on the front flap. Title is faded on the dust jacket spine. Includes technical profiles for 137 civil and military aircraft in service or under development around 1974. High-quality black-and-white photographs paired alongside Dennis Punnett's highly accurate three-view identification silhouettes. Each entry provides a concise history, engine specifications, performance metrics (speed, range, ceiling), and physical dimensions. This is the 23rd edition of this series popular with aviation historians, book collectors, and scale modelers. The Observer's Book of Aircraft, compiled by William Green, is a popular, long-running series of illustrated aviation reference books that provide detailed information, photographs, and silhouettes of various aircraft models. Published by Observer's Books (Frederick Warne & Co.), editions were released from the 1950s through the 1970s and beyond, making them collectible guides for aviation enthusiasts. The Author, William Green (1927–2010), was a prolific aviation author who edited many editions, making the series a significant part of his legacy. During service with the Royal Air Force, he wrote for the Air Training Corps Gazette, later to become Air Pictorial. Green was technical director to the RAF Flying Review, then editorial director when it became Flying Review International. In 1971 he and Gordon Swanborough jointly created the monthly Air International, of which he remained managing editor until late 1990. Green edited numerous editions of Observer's Book of Aircraft and spent most of his adult life doing research and writing on aircraft and aviation. His work Warplanes of the Third Reich is seen as a classic aviation publication. Along with Gordon Swanborough, he wrote several books, including The Illustrated Encyclopaedia of the Worlds Commercial Aircraft, Illustrated Anatomy of the World's Fighters, The Complete Book of Fighters and Flying Colours. 1974 Edition/23rd Edition (Stated). Presumed first printing thus.
