Add experimental planes, gliders, helicopters and various record-setters to the title and you see how far this book ranges. If you want to find them in museums, this book is the guide.

If you already have the previous two books you’ll pretty much need to have the third one, not just to complete the set but because, as volume 1 already laid out, volume 3 ties up some loose ends regarding fighter or bomber aircraft that didn’t specifically fit the other books. Together they cover more than 300 airplane types and if you are, in fact, someone who frequents aviation museums these books are your only comprehensive, one-stop guide to many of the survivors.

This book is the third lovely book of a series of three books that in total describe more than 300 airplane types that have survived the Second World War Funny is that on the book cover it says that this book describes the ‘less-glamorous’ airplanes. I do not agree with that! This book describes the more ‘practical crafts’. Don Berliner divided this book in some chapters to be able to categorize the airplanes well. Each chapter contains a piece with some airplane types that are described briefly with a bit of text and some characteristics as length, width, maximum speed etc. and photo. The photos are in black/white and colour and of excellent quality.

This above named book is pretty self-explanatory, it's a catalogue of those types of aircraft. Now, I'm not sure how exhaustive this is, as it is a field in which my knowledge is lacking, but it does seem comprehensive.
The book is presented as 'a Global Guide to Location and Types' and I can confirm from local knowledge that the entries relating to the IWM at Duxford are accurate. The book covers, as it presents, trainers and transport aircraft, with a few helicopters included. There are some excellent photographs and plenty of detail on each aircraft, along with a notation on where one can see them. It's nice to see a couple of gliders included in the list. All in all a good book for those who are interested in aircraft.

A lot of trilogies fizzle out by their completion. Not so for Don Berliner’s Surviving Trainer and Transport Aircraft of the World: A Global Guide to Location and Types, which is the final volume of the three-volume set that included Surviving Fighter Aircraft of World War Two: A Global Guide to Location and Types and Surviving Bomber Aircraft of World War Two: A Global Guide to Location and Types. Compared to the two that came before it, Surviving Trainer and Transport Aircraft of the World may lack sexiness, but what it lacks in that department it makes up for by being stunningly comprehensive. Along with a brief summary of the aircraft, their specifications and a list of where surviving examples can be seen are also included. In the back of the book is a guide to extinct types of transports, trainers, reconnaissance aircraft, liaison aircraft, gliders, research aircraft, and miscellaneous aircraft. You will be amazed that some of these aircraft survived and were preserved. If you are an aviation enthusiast, this book is for you. It's a great reference book and one that you will turn to time and time again.
