Abstract
We present the general solution to Einstein-Maxwell equations representing plane-symmetric metrics associated with electromagnetic fields that are not fully plane-symmetric. There are two classes in the general solution, the first approaches Taub's static metric or Kasner's spatially homogeneous one as the electromagnetic field goes to zero, while the second approaches the fiat metric.
