"It is important to highlight that this is more a volume for
serious aviation enthusiasts and historians than a modelling
reference. It will, however, certainly give some solid foundations
for scratch building or conversion future projects. If you wish to
expand your library to cover some of the more esoteric types or
have an interest in developmental aviation then this volume should
be considered an essential addition."--Ken Bowes "Hyperscale"

"This book gives us a well documented and researched look into an
area of aviation that is often overlooked. The authors know their
subject and do a good job conveying that knowledge! This book would
be a good addition to the shelf of the aviation historian, Soviet
and Russian aircraft enthusiast, anyone with an interest in
research aircraft as well as modelers who are looking to build
"something different" than your standard civil or military
aircraft! I recommend this to all of the above."--Hubb Plott "IPMS"

"This is by far the most comprehensive book to have ever been
written on the subject. A book that I know you will enjoy and one I
can easily recommend to you."--Scott Van Aken "Modeling Madness"
