History of Airplane Designs in the USSR up to 1938

Abstract

Some of the early Russian airplanes, particularly those designed by I. I. Sikorskiy, are examined in these extracts from the book. Discussion includes materials used, engines, types of structures and joining parts, and performance data on many of Sikorskiy's earlier designs, and goes into the 'Il'ya Muromets' series of airplanes in rather exhaustive detail, from the standpoint of their original design, record-setting capabilities, and combat record during World War I.
