SynopsisVery similar in appearance, performance and role to the ill-fated British Fairey Battle, the Il'yushin Shturmovik was a very much more successful airplane - one that formed the backbone of the Soviet air force for much of the war. Yefim Gordon and Sergey Komissarov have written a detailed history of this most important of all World War Two Russian aircraft. Including much detailed discussion of the design and the development of both the Il-2 and the Il-10, this book will be welcomed by all enthusiasts of Russian aviation. The huge number of archive photographs, and colored profiles, only go to make it more irresistible., Very similar in appearance, performance and role to the ill-fated British Fairey Battle, the Ill'yushin Shturmovik was a much more successful airplane--one that formed the backbone of the Soviet air force for much of the war. The Shturmovik was employed in increasingly varied roles and manufactured in staggering numbers.
