People may find Tony Buttler's "Postwar British Military Aircraft "  worth a look.ISBN 9781857803297.  It's a book full of  hundreds  of colour pictures ( some of them most unexpected) of UK material from 1945 to 1970.

From white Lancasters via green and white Scimitars to all kinds of Javelins and Buccaneers.

Just pre-ordered this one, from the pretty good "Planes & Pilots" series:

http://www.amazon.de/Supermarine-Spitfire-I-Planes-Pilots/dp/2352503434/ref=sr_1_3?s=books-intl-de&ie=UTF8&qid=1394619162&sr=1-3&keywords=planes+and+pilots

I have many of them - the title is a bit deceiving, as this is a collection of historic aircraft profiles (normally only from the left), covering ony aircraft type, sorted by time of service introduction and /or user countries. Very insprirational stuff, normally well researched, even though the printing colors are rarely indications for real life colors - you have to have references, even though sometimes the official color names are mentioned (e. g. FS oer RAL codes).

The Spitfire is one of the types I have been looking for for a long time, as it has a long service career, and consequently there will be three books about it - much like the Bf 109 or F-4 books of this series, which both have two volumes. The Spitfire trilogy is a novelty!

Interesting book about the development of Airborne tanks in WWII.  Concentrates mainly on British developments, it does touch on US, German, Russian and Japanese ones as well.   Not badly written it contains some interesting interviews with survivors of 6 Airborne Armoured Reconnaissance Regiment, the only unit to ever fly tanks into battle.  Useful organisational details are included.

To-day got the Aeroplane Special on the TSR-2.
Very nice. Not many photos that I have not seen before, but some very nice illustrations.
Must read it now

General Dynamics F-111 Aardvark by Don Logan and recommended by Thorvic.

Only managed to flick through it so far but it looks fantastic! Well worth the just over £40 that I paid for it, great value as it feels as if it weighs 4.0 pounds!

Just got and got into "Inside The Soviet Army" by Viktor Suvorov.
Found out that a lot of what we were 'Instructed in' by our fearless Army leaders while stationed in Germany was far off the mark either due to misunderstanding our 'enemy' or maybe just to make us think we had a chance to last over two days max when the Soviet Machine came through the Fulda Gap.

Read that a few years ago, interesting book

[TallEng]

Just got 'British Aircraft Carriers, design, development and service histories' by David Hobbs 
It starts with the Admiralty's interest in Aviation 1908 and goes all the way upto the Current Queen Elizabeth in build now, and seems to cover everything Inbetween and even has some gatefold plans of Carriers in the middle, including CV01 (1965), HMS Unicorn, HMS Hermes and several others, Well worth a look.
