Paperback, 56 Pages, Published 2009 MSRP: ~$20.00 ISBN: 978-83-89450-89-0 Review copy Provided by Mushroom Model Publications Website: www.mmpbooks.biz This book is the third in a series covering Polish military aircraft from Poland's independence after World War One through the present. This particular volume covers three fighters from the 1920s & 30s; the PWS-10, Avia BH-33 and PZL P-7. The book is published in Poland, but all of the text is in english. There are three chapters in the book, one for each aircraft type, with an additional subchapter that covers the PWS-10 in Spanish service Each chapter is full of black and white "in-action" photos and full color drawings of many of the aircraft in the photos. A large proportion of the drawings cover the planes from all angles and are very useful for painting and decaling model kits. Further, each chapter contains a chart with a short descrition of the service life of every airframe constructed during the life of each type. If you are looking for intricate details of the three aircraft, or extensive history of the units that flew them, this book is not for you. If you want photos and drawings that clearly show the colors and markings of these three Polish fighter aircraft, then I can heartily recommend this book. Now to get a copy of Volume 7 covering the PWS 14/16/16 bis/26 and PWS 18! My thanks to Mushroom Model Publications for the review sample.
