Compiled by noted Russian aviation writers and historians from a wealth of first-hand Russian sources, this book is a comprehensive history of each variant and its service. Extensive tables detail each aircraft built with complete notes on every operator-both civil and military-and their fleets. For military enthusiasts and modelers.

This review is from: Ilyushin Il-76: Russia's Versatile Jet Freighter (Aerofax) (Paperback)
What can I say? I like CANDIDs. This book has it all: great photos, plenty of specifications, anecdotes about the variants and prototypes, and a very comprehensive history of the aircraft. Also helpful is the fairly detailed list of operators (both former Soviet states and others), broken down by individual aircraft registration numbers. A fine book for modelers or military/civil aviation buffs.
