Aviones Yakovlev: libros - historia, técnica y despliegue

Yakovlev Yak-3

The Yakovlev Yak-3 was a World War II Soviet fighter aircraft. Robust and easy to maintain, it was very much liked by pilots and ground crew alike. It was one of the smallest and lightest major combat fighters fielded by any combatant during the war.
After the war ended, it flew with the Yugoslav and Polish Air Forces.

This book is part of a reference series for aircraft modellers called 'Spotlight On', featuring superb colour illustrations of camouflage and markings, specially commissioned for the series, never seen before.
It presents detailed illustrations of this famous plane and over 40 colour plans and profile views of the plane's camouflage, colours and markings in the air forces of many countries, including the Free French Normandie-Niemen Regiment in the USSR.

This is a rarely documented aspect of World War II aviation history, providing brand new reference material for aviation modellers and collectors.

BF 109E/F vs Yak-1/7 : Eastern Front 1941-42 (Osprey)

Adéntrate en las cabinas del Bf 109 de la Luftwaffe y del Yaks 1-7 de la Fuerza Aérea Roja, dos cazas que participaron en algunas de las batallas aéreas más grandes y feroces de la historia.
El emblemático caza Messerschmitt y sus experimentados pilotos infligieron una terrible derrota a los Yak al comienzo de la guerra. Algunos de los ases con mayor número de victorias de la historia se beneficiaron de la superioridad técnica del Bf 109 sobre el pesado y poco potente Yak 1, cosechando increíbles éxitos contra sus adversarios, mal entrenados y equipados.
Sin embargo, a medida que los soviéticos acumulaban experiencia en combate, sus tácticas mejoraron, al igual que sus aviones en el Yak 1B modernizado, y gradualmente, la Fuerza Roja fue erosionando el dominio de los cielos de la Jagdwaffe en el frente oriental, aunque con el 109G nunca perderían la superioridad cualitativa.
Con relatos de primera mano de pilotos veteranos, fotografías de archivo inéditas y análisis de expertos, este volumen da vida a los feroces combates aéreos que tuvieron lugar entre el Bf 109 y el Yak mientras competían por el dominio de los cielos helados del Frente Oriental.

Yakovlev Aircraft of World War Two

Founded in 1927, the design bureau headed by Aleksandr S. Yakovlev started out with light aircraft but soon became a 'fighter maker' when the prospect of war loomed large.

Originally designated I-26, Yakovlev's first simple but rugged fighter, first flew in 1940 and entered production at the end of the year as the Yak-I.
The Yak-9 introduced in 1942, brought a greater proportion of metal to the airframe design which made it lighter leading to the development of the long-range Yak-9D, the up-gunned tank buster versions (Yak-9-37, Yak-(K etc.) and the Yak-9B light bomber.
Flown by the French pilots of the Normandie-Niemen squadron of the Soviet Air Force the Yak-3 brought out in 1943 came to be recognised as one of the Soviet Fighters of WWII.

Richly illustrated with unit badges, nose art, scale drawings, colour side views and three-views, as well as unreleased photos and personal stories from pilots in the Great Patriotic War, "Yakovlev Aircraft of World War II" is a detailed reference source for modellers, enthusiasts and historians alike.

Jakowlew - seit 1934 (Typenkompass)

This Typenkompass book contains everything you need to know about the Moscow-based Yakovlev design office, which was founded in 1934 and was known for its robust aircraft and helicopter designs.
While the office's focus in the 1930s was on the construction of sports and training aircraft, Yakovlev developed the Yak-1 to Yak-9 fighter aircraft series during the Second World War, of which several thousand units rolled off the production line.
In addition to his military and transport aircraft, Yakovlev became famous in the 1970s and 1980s for his high-performance aerobatic aircraft.
