Wow,looks great,thanks.

 

[Wurger]

Anatoliy, would you be so kind and give us a preview on this book of yours?

 

[visvirtusvoluntas]

The book describes the entire evolution of Russian and Soviet ground attack planes, from the early years of the Russian Imperial Air Service to the '90s.

 

[Wurger]

Great book, and language is no problem to me !

 

[gatoraptor]

Looks great, but is there any chance it will appear in an English-language edition?

 

[AeroFranz]

Complimenti!
Do you know how people living outside of Italy may order the book?

 

[boxkite]

For instance Abebooks (from Webster.it / Limena, PD, Italien) offers the book. Use the ISBN 9788875654221 to fill the Search Option.

Dear,
thank for your notice: I've just ordered my copy!
(Grazie mille per l'informazione: ho appena fatto il mio ordine )

 

[Antonio]

Thanks everyone for the info. Seems an interesting book to order. Could you please post your impressions once received. I already have a pretty collection on Soviet and Russian unbuilt projects and I'd like to avoid duplicity.

It is a choice of the publisher. If there are many requests, it will be more likely that the text will be translated.

 

[visvirtusvoluntas]

Very few, I suppose. Against that is the language, but the drawings are exclusive and very well made.

Grazie mile!, The cover looks wonderful, I can't hardly wait to order it. "Borovik" is our forum member?

 

[Wurger]

Visvirtusvoluntas, are you co-author (Alberto Trevisan)? Is it too abbusing asking you for the index of this great book? I am especially interested in the late 30`s, early 40`s designs.

I've some issue to post the index right now. I can assure you that various Polikarpov, Tupolev, Grigorovich, Kocherigin, Neman projects are covered and the fascinating "competition Ivanov" as well.

 

[Avimimus]

If you guys ever decide to translate an English version - I'm willing to do a lot of proof-reading for free!

 

[Wurger]

Okidoki B)!

New book on Soviet strike aircraft

Dear friends,
I want to tell you a book just released (unfortunately only in Italian but who knows that in the future not even an English edition) by Alberto Trevisan and Anatoly P. Borovik headlined “Assaltatori ed aerei da attacco al suolo russi e sovietici” on the Soviet and Russian strike and ground attack aircraft since 1916 to present days .
268 pages densely packed with about 300 black and white and colour photos and line drawings, colour silhouettes, family trees etc!
Absolutely recommendable.
The book is published by IBN Editore that you can find through Google (or going to: https://www.ibneditore.it/ sometime a bit slow in appearing), the email is info@ibneditore.it
Nico S.

Book just arrived - Brilliant! One of the best books within the last years. Okay, it's time to learn Italian language .

Thanks a lot to the author and the drawer, who are members of this forum !

Hi all!
Did MDB attack aircraft M-921 "Hornet" include in that book? Chief designer was E. G. Koshelev, 2000

 

[Nick Sumner]

I'd be really keen to see a translation of this book into English.

Wow,new for me,thank you my dear Ucon.

I just last Friday received an English-language version of this book through The Book Depository and it's well worth it for the coverage and detail.

 

[GTX]

I didn't realise an english language version was available.

 

[gatoraptor]

I just got the English-language edition. It's got a lot of interesting drawings but the organization appears to be very haphazard, with text and drawings sometimes pages apart. And a lot of the drawings require turning the book 90 degrees. Most of the drawings are simple line drawings but there is a section of color side views in the back.

Russian and Soviet Ground Attack Aircraft English Edition is here at the Book Depository:

Amazon.com: Books

Online shopping from a great selection at Books Store.

www.bookdepository.com

It is currently unavailable, but you can request notification of when it is back in stock.

ISBN13: 9788875654863 I had to use the search term "Borovik" to find the English version on the site.

 

[elmayerle]

Damn, I must have purchased mine just before they went unavailable. I would still say it's worth the money. I suspect the problems gatoraptor mentioned are at least somewhat due to attempting to organize all that information in an affordable page count, and there's a whole lot in there.

Yes, sadly is a known issue. The reason is to give the drawings the place they need. Often the text is too short to "fill the gaps".
