Description
The twin-engined Petlyakov Pe-2, or ‘Peshka’, formed the mainstay of the Soviet dive-and light-bomber force in World War II. Of
advanced design and sleek appearance, the twin-engined Pe-2 was an extremely fast and reliable aircraft.
Aviation historian Peter C. Smith tells the full story of this remarkable aircraft, and places it in the context of the Russian campaign, the success of which owed much to this reliable and very numerous machine.
Including many rare black and white photographs, and colour detail shots of preserved Pe-2s, this deeply researched book will be invaluable for historian, enthusiast and modeller alike.
