Ranging from the monoplanes and biplanes of the early twentieth century to the hi-tech supersonic jet fighters used by air forces across the world today, the vast range of military aircraft that have been and are still in use today are documented here. These include not only planes, but also gyrocopters and helicopters. They can be seen giving displays at air days and airshows or as static exhibits at a wide variety of locations, such as military and aviation museums, airports, airfields and aerodromes, sometimes on an almost daily basis as they are still serving with the relevant air forces. Some aircraft are also found at military establishments around the country, where they are plinthed and act as gate guardians, or in the hands of private individuals, more often than not a section of the craft being displayed, such as cockpits, nosecones or part of the fuselage.

Royston Morris presents a wealth of full-colour images and informative captions to showcase military aircraft from the First World War right up to the modern day which can be seen in the skies and on the ground in Britain.

Royston has been interested in transport since early childhood, when he was always playing with toy cars, lorries and buses. In 1975 he became interested in trains and got his first camera as a birthday present. Since then, he has combined his two main hobbies of transport and photography and has taken over 30,000 transport-related images, featuring cars, trains, commercial vehicles, bicycles, aircraft, hot air balloons and horse-drawn vehicles. He is still taking photographs fifty years on and has a Flickr site which is regularly updated.
