Arranged by designers, this second installment of a two-volume set includes the aircraft of such famous names as Ilyushin, Pedyakov, 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..

Includes an introduction by renowned UK aviation journalist Bill Gunston.
