SOVIET COMBAT AIRCRAFT of the Second World War

Volume One: Single Engine Fighters

By Yefim Gordon and Dmitri Khazanov

Book Description

Arranged by designers, this second installment of a two-volume set includes the aircraft of such famous names as Ilyushin, Petlyakov, and Tupolev, as well as lesser-known types. Most books on the subject have been heavy on Western sources and light on firsthand information, especially pertaining to political backgrounds, design production, testing, and combat records.. In preparing this volume, the authors combed untapped archives in the Soviet Union to uncover a wealth of data that rewrites long held Western beliefs. The war records of the aircraft are accompanied by comparisons to Allied and German aircraft of the period,
