Warplane was published in 120 weekly parts of 24 pages each, between 1985 & 1988. Focusing on modern military aviation, this partwork adopted a similar format to 'The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Aircraft'. Each issue included a feature on modern military aircraft operations, War Zone, covering recent air wars from Afganistan to Vietnam or the operational profiles of individual aircraft types - from counter-insurgency operations in the Afican Bush to Cold War spy missions; a detailed article on a major aircraft type (Datafile) and a continuing A-Z directory of modern military aircraft, which eventually covered about 450 types. Very well illustrated, this partwork introduced the three-quarter-view fold-out centrespread colour artwork feature. Many colour photos, colour profiles, cutaway drawings, line drawings etc.
