Just thought that you guys might be interested in this new book that I've read about on the net. Entitled 'Russian Aeroplanes 1914-18', you can see the publishers page at:-
http://www.icarusbooks.com/RussianAeroplanes.htmI've got it on order and I'll give a brief review when I get it. |

I welcome any questions/comments from public either to myself or to the book author, Mikhail Maslov.
Guennadi Sloutski I spent much of last week going through the book in detail - best book I have bought in about a year or longer. We all love our Jastas, the British units get a great deal of coverage, and the brief period of American involvement is well-documented. I, for one, particularly enjoy the material about the less well-documented nations. Maslov's book, with Durkota alongside, might well be my favorite two books in my library. Please encourage Mr.Maslov to continue with his work, and I hope this book gets the great sales it deserves.

I agree. It's an awesome book that I've already read, cover to cover. Maslov is an exceptional historian, and I hope he continues his work.
Personally I hope all his future work is released in English as well. I have some of his older works (R-5/R-Z and I-16 from Armada) that I wish were in English. |

I bought the book a couple of months back and am very pleased with it. Good value for the money! I appreciate in particular the coverage service types like the Anatras and Lebeds, as well as some interesting and novel experimental types previously unknown to me. A good shelf-companion to the Flying Machines Press book on the IRAS.

< What is that AC on the cover? It's amazing! >
What? You dont recognize the Kasyanenko No.5, making its first (and only) flight! :-D Matt and I were discussing this book on the modeller's list, and everyone had the same question you did. I had never heard of this odd bird - at first glance it appears to have no visible means of propulsion. Only when you look very closely does the prop in the tail appear. It is a well-done book - loads of photos I have never seen before and a very professional presentation. I am certain you will be impressed.
