When it first appeared in 1933, the Polikarpov I-16 was the most modern fighter in the world, featuring a monocoque fuselage married to a low cantilever wing, retractable landing gear, and enclosed cockpit. Several thousand were subsequently built, and quickly became the Soviet Air Force's primary front-line fighter type. The aircraft saw combat in Spain, China, and Finland, but by the time Germany invaded the Soviet Union in 1941 the type was thoroughly obsolete. Losses were enormous, and continued to be so until the type was retired from front-line service in 1942. Hans-Heiri Stapfer, in his "Polikarpov Fighters in Action Pt II" takes a close look at this interesting fighter aircraft. He begins with the development of the TsKB-12 prototypes before moving on to production models. Models are differentiated and lots of photographs are provided, as are three-view line drawings, illustrations, and two pages of color prints. Combat histories are discussed including the experimental mating of I-16 fighters mounted under the wings of a Tupolev TB-3 bomber. In all, this is a good work on one of the most important Soviet fighters of the early war period. |

This well-written book focuses on the the Polikarpov Biplanes that were the standard fighters of the VVS (Red Air Force) before world war 2. This is actually the first of a 2 part series, the second book (Aicraft Number 162) deals with the Polikarpov monoplanes. Although ample imformation over the planes' performance in combat is also provided, the 'in action' aspect really takes a backseat to the description of design and development. This is not neccesarily a bad thing as the text is a very good and enlightning read and is well illustrated. Both with numerous period photographs as well asline-drawings, that are used highlight specific details and to illustrate the differences between various types. In addition to photographs and line-drawings the book provides a dozen aircraft profiles (in colour), that cater specifically to modellers. |

This book is great for fans of WWII aircraft. And it may help people who have a very limied knowledge of this great soviet aircraft learn how important it was to the battle on the eastern front. This aircraft was extreamly deadly as the German's must have seen, they refered to it as the "black death". Again a great book for those interested in soviet aircraft in WWII. |

This book is a great reference book for Cold War buffs and modelers alike. The book is split in two sections, the first being pictorial. Each aircraft is viewed from the top/bottom and side in full markings of the mid-sixties. Accompanied with each picture are - country of origin, aircraft specifications and type - fighter, fighter bomber, interceptor, reconn or trainer. The second section contains a brief history of each aircraft which include manufactors, production numbers and the nations flying them at the time of print. From the Thunderbolt to the Blackbird, its all here. |
