Więcej o książce

In the history of aviation, the Second World War represents a classic period. The twelve aircraft featured in this book were marvels of modern technology, embodying everything we would know about flying until the appearance of the turbine engine. An international team of aviation writers profile these 12 planes, covering design and production, specialized models and variants, their tactical deployment, the battles they fought in, and the famous exploits of their pilots. Aircraft artist Rikyu Watanabe renders each of these planes in glorious full-color illustrations, detailed interior cutaways, control and weapons systems schematics, and actual squadron insignia. Originally published in 12 volumes, this beautiful book makes a truly elegant addition to the library of any history buff or aviation enthusiast. 10" x 13". Color & b&w illus.
