Yeah, I have a really good one but it doesnt include the F-35 or Yak-141
  :'(
anyway, here it is:

A HANDBOOK OF FIGHTER AIRCRAFT by Francis Crosby of Imperial War Museum Duxford
 
description:
Featuring photos from the Imperial War Museum.

An illustrated history of fighter aircraft, their origins and evolution

Fokkers, Spitfires, Messerschmitts, and many others from world wars I and II

Today's powerful supersonic jets, including F-15 Eagles, MiGs and the Eurofighter.

I love this book, read it every night before bed along with others and another fighter and attack plane book but I like this one the most of fighterplane books....hope you like it if you get it!  :)

Here it is, its a Russian VTOL fighter. I'm not sure if it is experimental or in use though.

My russian sucks but did that first video just say that JSF is similar plane to Yak-141 just russians were working on same things 10-15 years before americans and brits?  ;D
They also called it a unique machine I guess they forgot what the Royal Navy is flying :)
