The LaGG-3 Fighter In Profile & Scale (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781678183691)

Volume № 11 of the Profile & Scale series is a ground-breaking work seeking to understand and explain the extreme complexity of the LaGG-3 fighter programme. More than 50 LaGG-3 examples are faithfully documented in full-colour profile, many appearing for the first time. Sixty-three pages of original and not previously published 1:48 scale line drawings reveal the development and complexity of the LaGG family as never before, seeking to clarify much of what has been shrouded in confusion hitherto. These line drawings are the culmination of nearly 30 years' dedicated work on the type, and should present the most complete, accurate and illuminating scale work regarding the aircraft to date. The book contains an essential summary of the development of the LaGG-3 programme which should clarify many aspects of the fighter, its history and development during the war. Even seasoned students of VVS history will no doubt discover new information regarding this most complicated and convoluted project, and it is hoped that these discoveries will allow for a re-appraisal of the LaGG-3 and its place in the greater aeronautical story. Many of the colour profiles represent examples which will be familiar to students of the LaGG-3, albeit completed to the utmost standard of accuracy. Several profiles will doubtless be new even to experienced readers, and it is hoped these will delight both the casual reader and the serious student, equally.
