Ayesha Genova: I suspect you are asking about JANES - "All the Worlds Aircraft" book.http://catalog.janes.com/catalog/public/index.cfm?...It is a listing of the worlds aircraft by manufacturer and model and has lots of data. Its also not cheap! The "Registration" or "Tail Number" is not part of spotting as those numbers change! The basic Manufacturer ,MODEL and TYPE do not change and can be cataloged. A more reasonable book is Aeronautics Aircraft Spotters' Handbook or Civil Aircraft Recognition Book either of which can be found at Amazon or some book stores. There are some simpler "foldout" guides like those at http://www.planespotter.com/ Any of these are "tools" for spotters.A good place to start would be at Aircraft Spotting http://www.aircraftspotting.net/index.phpa good search term would be "aircraft spotters book" which will return many different publications....Show more
Carlton Lastrapes: I gather that you are writing from beyond the USA. Here in the S! tates the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) website has an application on the first page in which you can enter an observed registration number (in the US they always start with "N", thus the term "N-number"), and find the make, model and owner of that aircraft. We pump out so many aircraft from the Cessna, Beech (Reytheon), Mooney, etc. plants it wouldn't be practical to publish them in a book. It would be obsolete the day it was published.http://www.faa.gov/I suspect that your country's aviation authority may have a similar web page and a means to find information about a specific aircraft registered in your country....Show more
