PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
by Erik Pilawskii (Author)
Volume № 5 of the Profile & Scale series details the Yakovlev Yak-1 fighter family to an entirely new standard of authenticity. More than 80 I-26 and Yak-1 examples are faithfully documented in full-colour profile, many appearing for the first time. Fifty-eight pages of original and not previously published 1:48 scale line drawings reveal the development and complexity of the entire Yak-1 family as never before. These line drawings are the culmination of nearly 30 years' dedicated work on the Yak family, and should present the most complete, accurate and illuminating scale work regarding the aircraft at the present time. The book presents many development and variant detail facts about the Yak-1 which have hitherto been unclear. The scale drawings and profiles are complimented by more than 40 photographs, some never before published. It is fervently hoped that at long last many hitherto confused or inaccurate details of the Yak-1 family will be clarified and rectified.
