This latest edition of Aero Research's CDs is another nice civil collection. There is no central theme in this one with a wide variety of aircraft including light aircraft, prototypes, airliners, cargo aircraft, helicopters, crop dusters, biz jets, and a few warbirds tossed into the mix. There is a nice selection of DC-3/C-47s in here which I like. I found a fairly large number of black and white images in this batch with a number of those depicting aircraft from the time before WWII. These are not just aircraft found on the US civil registry but aircraft from around the world.

As with all of Aero Research's offerings, you get over 150 images, all of them crisply reproduced. Each image has as much information included as is known. This offering is now provided as a download, with much larger images than was previously available as a .pdf. Makes it a great deal for those outside the US where previously, shipping was exhorbitant.

In all, it makes for another superbly done selection of airplane eye-candy that will be sure to please the enthusiast.
