THE I.A.R.80 AND I.A.R.81 AIRFRAME, SYSTEMS AND EQUIPMENT
Book Type: S,O,
Possibly one of the most significant aircraft of WW2, but virtually forgotten. During the war it fought the Russians, the Americans and then later the Germans - when the war ended, Romania was under the Russian sphere of influence, the pilots, engineers, mechanics that worked on this aircraft were hunted down and many of them ended up in the Gulags. As a result, Romanians were afraid to talk about it, and as Romania was behind the Iron Curtain, the western researchers had no access to info. This combination of factors led to the aircraft nearly being forgotten. Yet performance-wise, this aircraft was in the same class as a Bf 109E or Hurricane. Covers all variants of IAR-80/81, structures and systems, camouflage and markings, extensive detailed scale plans and ample color profiles. Further illustrated with more than 150 b/w and 9 color photos. Aviation Guide 3; 128 pages.
