This book must surely be considered the ultimate reference on this aircraft type in English! Masterfully researched & written, and complimented by hundreds of superb photos and diagrams. Here's the official product info: The Ilyushin Il-2 Sturmovik is perhaps the most famoUS aircraft in the history of Russian and Soviet aviation. During World War 2 this rugged ground attack aircraft was arguably the Soviets most effective weapon. Protected by its heavy armour, the low-flying aircraft was incredibly difficult to shoot down and its powerful array of weaponry - cannon, machine guns, rockets and HEAT anti-tank bombs - was capable of penetrating the armour of all the German tanks in the field at the time, including the Panther and Tiger tanks, as well as reaping destruction among the ranks of enemy infantry on the ground. The Il-2 was so successful that the design was produced in greater numbers than any other military aircraft in history - over 40,000 being built 1941-55. In this book Yefim Gordon applies the successful Famous Russian Aircraft formula to this mainstay of Soviet air forces in World War 2, making this the most comprehensive book available on the subject, covering both its development and service career, with previously unpublished photographs and colour profiles illustrating in detail the variations in the aircraft such as modifications from dual to single seater and back (with a rear gunner) and unit insignia. Here's a (2013) review from an Amazon.co.uk customer who gave the book 5/5 This really is the definitive Il-2 book. The printing is excellent, the paper quality top notch with some great period photo's and colour photo's of museum aircraft. Each variation is discussed in chronological order & the differences noted. The history of the aircraft, from it's design to retirement, is very well covered and there is a chapter devoted to Il-2 pilots as well. Plenty of colour profiles abound, together with detailed drawings of each variant.This is a great modellers reference book, as well as providing a great document for the Il-2, the most built war-plane in history.Highly recommended. Don't let the comparatively high price dissuade you - this is a large, well written, well researched, well illustrated book that will not disappoint. 431 page hardcover book, published 2010 -------------------------------------------------- SHIPPING:UK Items usually sent by Royal Mail, with tracking SHIPPING: OVERSEAS ITEMS WORTH LESS THAN €150 / £135 From 1 July 2021, the Brexit transition period ends. From this date forward, EVERYTHING sold to a country outside of the UK counts as an export, and as such could be subject to VAT/tax. EU member states require an IOSS (Import One Stop Shop) number, although this is optional. From 1 July, eBay should provide me with an IOSS number once you have completed checkout. I will then make sure this number is visible on your parcel. This is to tell the customs officials in your country that you have already paid the relevant taxes at point of purchase. The VAT rate for books and printed papers is 0% in the UK, but it may well be different for your country. The good news is that eBay have an entire team dedicated to working out the tax rates for you - these should be visible on your pre-order summary just before you complete checkout, and will be based on 1) the applicable VAT rate for the type of goods you have bought 2) the value of the goods. If you have won an item at open auction, then the final tax amount will not be visible until bidding ends. If you are purchasing a 'buy it now' item then the applicable tax should be visible before you complete checkout.This rule covers items less worth than €150 / £135, regardless of whether there is one item or multiple items in the order. For orders worth more than €150 / £135, please see below.Some countries such as Australian (ABN numbers) and some US States have already implemented the collection of taxes at point of purchase, so customers in these countries will in most cases be familiar with the collection of tax when buying on eBay UK. If any additional codes are required for your parcels, then I am confident that eBay will provide me with them. I will then in due course make sure they are visible on any paperwork or address labels, to show you have already paid your tax. current VAT rates for books can be seen here: https://www.internationalpublishers.org/our-work/vat-and-fixed-book-price/printed-books-and-vat-gst SHIPPING:OVERSEAS ORDER WORTH MORE THAN €150 / £135 If your order - whether an individual item or multiple items - is worth more than €150 / £135, then eBay will NOT provide me with an IOSS (Import One Stop Shop) number once you have completed checkout. Currently, such orders will be subject to tax/VAT (if required) only when they enter the destination country, at the discretion of the local tax authority and based on the tax rates for the kind of item(s) you have purchased. *Please note* that the parcel may also be subject to a release charge by the customs agency in your country. This is the system as it stands - in the future, there may become available a service whereby you can pay all charges up front, in which case I will update my listings.
