Reviews
Dozens of beautiful color plates - profiles, plan views and insets - tincture text. Dozens more rare, previously unpublished aircraft photos - many from private collections - augment artwork. And all come backed by brilliantly researched, thoroughly annotated manuscript... Text comes packed with fascinating facts. The segue on international talismans and mascots, for instance, proved surprisingly spellbinding... Robustly recommended!, ...provides a fine history of the development of the Imperial Russian Air Force, as told in original Russian documents and personal accounts not often (if ever before) seen in the West... This book and the preceding volume has been masterfully done and is highly recommended., Inside archival photos, aircraft illustrated reproductions, insignia, logos and color plates and maps are accompanied by detailed examinations of key battles and conflicts that make history come alive from this little known segment of WWI., In all, we have what every enthusiast wants in a book. It is well written, superbly researched, has lots of great photos and includes a bevy of superb color profiles based on the photos in the book. It is one that I am sure you will find just as fascinating to read as did I and is most highly recommended.
