The Petlyakov Pe-2 and Pe-3 In Profile & Scale Volume II

Volume № 15 of the Profile & Scale series continues coverage of the Pe-2 and Pe-3 Peshka to an entirely new standard of authenticity. More than 20 pages of new original and not previously published 1:48 and 1:72 scale line drawings complete the development and full complexity of the family as never before. These line drawings are the culmination of many years of dedicated work and based upon the inspection of all known surviving Pe-2 specimens. Particular credit must go to the staff of the Norsk Luftfartsmuseum at Bodø whose assistance was both vital and superior.Volume II presents many development and variant detail facts about the lesser known Pe-2 and Pe-3 models which have been previously unclear or incorrect. The scale drawings and profiles are complimented by photographs diagrams and other documentary material to explain the technical and construction details of the remaining series. Five large appendicies address related Pe-2 and Pe-3 matters such as camouflage experimental armament bombs and more. Additional colour profiles are sure to delight even experienced students of the type.
