One of the best aviation reference works to date !

This book covers in great detail the Imperial Russian Air Service. The presentation is for the serious aviation enthusiast - one that has been longed for ! The massive book is well worth the price. Excellent 3-views are provided for virtually all Russian aircraft of World War One. There is also a complete section of beautiful color drawings of numerous aircraft from the war. The text covers all manufacturers, all aces and provides a detailed overview of Russian air operations. For modelers this will be a reference work that could keep you occupied for years ! For aviation enthusiasts its a wonderful reference work though its presentation isn't a start to finish type of read - it is presented in well defined broken doen catagories. A wonderful book - well worth the apparently steep price !
