Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Starting life in 1927, with Aleksandr Sergeyevich Yakovlev's very first aircraft, the AIR-1, the OKB produced aircraft such as the Yak-4 light bomber, the Yak-6 light transport and the Yak-1 fighter. The latter paving the way for the highly successful Yak-3 and Yak-9. Post-war the Yak-15, -17 and -23 were fighters with a distinctive 'pod-and-boom' layout, the Yak-25 was very first in a line of twin-jet tactical aircraft while the Yak-18 trainer, Yak-24 tandem-rotor helicopter, Yak-38 VTOL and Yak-40/42 airliners added variety.

Yefim Gordon and his asociates are working through Russian aircraft manufacturers similar to the way Putnam books did with predominantly UK manufacturers, This book is 384 pages of information, many photos and many drawing. There is a section called "A brief history of the Yakolev OKB" followed by sections on Lightplanes 1924-43 and continuing with 10 further types categories and ending with pilotless aircraft and a short colour photo selection. Although expensive, it is a good value for the money particularly if you are interested in Russian aviation history and cannot read Russian
