Aviation Reference Directory

Introduction

This page began as a list of websites and webpages with information about specific aircraft equipment. However, it was renamed on 25 October 2026 to reflect an expanded subject matter that includes all types of reference works related to aviation.

Generally, entries are listed in alphabetical order. However, this may be ignored in the case of a single series of books written by different authors to preserve the associations between the works. In this case, the series is listed alphabetically by the name of the author of the first volume in the series.

The pages 241–243 in the bibliography of the book Hidden Warbirds II by Nicholas A. Veronico were a partial inspiration for the wrecks section as well as the source of many of the entries in it.
