Leonard. The Soviet aircraft industry of the 1940s was incredibly productive as Russian manufacturers, stimulated by the needs of World War II, competed with each other in design and creativity. This book presents, in chronological order, exhaustive coverage of every single-engine Soviet fighter of the period, from obscure projects that did not get off the drawing table to the best-known mass-produced models. A masterful work! 208 pages, hundreds of B&W photographs and line drawings, color profiles and more. 9"x 12", hardcover. #0024040
