I remember seeing my first Polygon publication years ago which
was a softcover monograph of the Su-27 Flanker. The title had
some black & white photos and lots of line drawings, with the
narrative in Russian. I recently spotted this title on Amazon
and bought it out of curiosity. After looking it over, I've
since purchased several other titles in the series.
This series is a VERY nice collection of color photography
(no black & whites) of operational aircraft in a variety
of configurations. The title is
published in English only. In the Su-25 title, there is a brief
run-down on the aircraft, with the bulk of the details left
as captions to some of the nicest Su-25 photography I've seen
in print. The photography includes a nice walk around of the
aircraft. The coverage includes:
- Su-25 - A Brief History
- Photo Gallery
- Su-25 Colour Profiles
- Su-25TK Line Drawings
In the rear of the title, there are four color profiles of
typical operational Su-25 single seaters, two of the Su-25UB
trainers, and two of the Su-25T aircraft which were two-seaters
that were turned into single seat aircraft using the space
in what used to be the rear cockpit for more avionics.The last
page has a three-view drawing of this interesting Su-25T variant.
The Soviet/Russian aviation historian and modeler alike will
want to add this to their reference libraries - especially
considering the VERY reasonable retail price! The photography
and printing quality is very well done. This title is highly
recommended!
I purchased my copy from Amazon.com.
