The observer's pocket reference series first started in 1937. Its aim is to provide an introduction to a wide range of interests. They have also been popular amongst children. They have become collector's items. The first few Observer's titles had focused on nature, but gradually subjects like geology, music and architecture were introduced.
This is No. 11 in the series.
"Now in its Twentieth Edition this book continues to keep up its impeccable standard and to present the latest information on the world's newest aircraft. This book is recommended by numerous aeronautical organisations and also by The Boy Scouts' Association.
The jacket illustration depicts the Anglo-French SEPECAT Jaguar, the first production deliveries of which are scheduled for the last quarter of 1971. The Jaguar will serve as a single-seat tactical strike fighter and as a two-seat advanced trainer with both the Royal Air Force and France's Armee de I'Air."
