Hi,
I've received a sample of this book by the author, Viktor Povinsky, already known to have released various editions of his work on CD.
The books describes all versions of Il-2, starting from the prototypes up to the ones utilized in foreign air forces after the end of the GPW.
The book is illustrated with many good wartime photos, 5 views line drawing of main versions, drawings of the evolution of the canopy and of the cockpit, many color profiles and 3 views drawings, and a final part with many detail color photos from museum exhibits and costructive details from the technical manual.
It's no doubt a book of praise for all those are interested into the subject.
Thanks to the author for the sample, and compliments for his good work.
Massimo
