A fighter aircraft of renown and somewhat indifferent reputation, which saw service with numerous WW II airforces. Little appreciated by the Allies, the type became the mount of numerous Finnish aces, a theatre where it excelled. Another first from Lela Presse in the aviation publishing field - never before has so much information been collected in one volume on the type. Covering all users, this work features hundreds of photos, large-scale profiles over its approximately 330 A-4 pages. Not to be missed. French text but extensive English-language photo captions. Full colour schemas illustrating camouflage and markings, 19 pages de plans to 1/72 & 1/48 scale.
