While I like this booklet a little better than its companion work on Petlyakov Pe-2 guards units, it does feel mostly like an agglomeration of battle anecdotes with a nice set of color profiles and a good collection of photos. Maybe I'm just getting picky in my incipient old age. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Over 43,000 Il-2/10s were built between 1941 and 1955, more than any other combat aircraft in history, making this one of the most important Soviet aircraft deployed in World War II. Built originally as a two-seater, the Il-2 had lost the rear gunner's position by the time it started to reach frontline units. Armed with ground-attack rockets, the aircraft proved deadly against Wehrmacht panzers as pairs of Il-2s roamed the frontline at low level. However, the Shturmoviks (armoured attackers) were vulnerable to attack from the rear by enemy fighters, so Ilyushin reverted to the two-seat layout in September 1942. Oleg Rastrenin provides a fascinating account of the complex development history of a plane that was crucial to Russia's defence. From Stalingrad to Kursk to Berlin, this book charts the aeroplane's vital contribution to the most famous battles of the Eastern front. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
