Designed as an interceptor, when the Bell P-39 Airacobra appeared in 1941 it was acclaimed as one of the most advanced combat planes of the time. Elegantly designed and innovatively engineered (it featured the engine mid-aircraft like a racing car), it experienced mixed operational fortunes but was especially successful in the Soviet Air Force. This book is a full technical history of this important but neglected fighter of World War Two. It presents scale plans of all versions, many detailed photographs of surviving aircraft, full color illustrations of the aircraft in the different liveries of its many users: USAAF, RAF, Soviet, French, Italian and others, in total more than 50 color profiles.
Developed from the most successful and numerous of Russian fighters, the Yak-9 was an all-metal fighter used by the Soviet Union and its allies (Bulgaria, Poland, Yugoslavia) during and after World War Two, including action in the Korean War. The series of Yakovlev fighters underwent constant updating, mostly on the armaments side. The 9U and 9P variants were the most advanced. This work features: scale plans; photos and drawings from technical manuals; superb colour illustrations of camouflage and markings, walk-around colour photographs of surviving aircraft; rare black and white archive photographs from the aircraft's service. It is essential reading for aviation enthusiasts and scale aero-modellers.
