{"product_id":"lagg-lavochkin-aces-of-george-mellinger-9781841766096","title":"Lagg \u0026 Lavochkin Aces of World War 2","description":"This book examines the LaGG family of fighters, that were amongst the first modern piston-engined interceptors made available to the Red Air Forces in early 1941and proved far better fighters than their radial-engined predecessors. Despite technical maladies and political interference from Moscow, the LaGG-3 matured into an effective fighter when flown to its strengths at low level. Many early Soviet aces were weaned on the LaGG-3, and if they survived the early massacres of 1941-42, they went on to fly the Lavochkin family of fighters. Indeed, the Lavochkin La-3, -5 and -7 were the fighters of choice for Heroes of the Soviet Union such as Ivan Kozhedub, who claimed 62 kills.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e George Mellinger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1841766097\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781841766096\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Osprey Publishing (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/21\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.74h x 7.26w x 0.35d","brand":"George Mellinger","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43996433449215,"sku":"9781841766096","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e23db304-37b9-4313-b1c5-81506666e2aa.jpg?v=1683341667","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lagg-lavochkin-aces-of-george-mellinger-9781841766096","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
