Soviet and Russian Ekranoplans

Sergey Komissarov & Yefim Gordon

X-Planes of Europe II: Military Prototype Aircraft from the Golden Age 1947–1974

by Tony Buttler

The title is clear enough—except that it doesn’t tell you it’s about fighters and bombers. And even at that, it is quite selective but it is bristling with important facts and many rare photos.

Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow/Bentley T-Series, Camargue & Corniche

by Malcolm Bobbitt
