Russian Fighter Book by
Charles Talleyrand
Can someone suggest a nice book on Russian fighters and maybe bombers?
I'm looking for lots of technical detail. Best would be discussions on
why they made the design decisions they chose.
-Thanks

Someone tried to insult me by saying I was in the same class as Henriques. I am
