description: Very 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.
