Albatros D.I - D. Va: Legendary Fighter
Legends of Aviation #5
Tomasz J. Kowalski
Kagero's Legends of Aviation series is a collection of books detailing the oldest aircraft of the 20th Century, their units and the pilots who flew and fought in them. Each volume contains archive photographs, scale drawings and colour profile artwork.
The Albatros D.I was a German fighter aircraft used during World War I. Although its operational career was short, it was the first of the Albatros D types which formed the bulk of the German and Austrian fighter squadrons for the last two years of the war.

Information of the development and service history of one of Germany's most graceful fighter, the Albatros. The book is filled with over 100 black and white archival photographs and 9 colour plates of profiles for 13 different machines.
There are structural diagrams, data tables along with appendices, bibliography and end notes. The entire book has 80 pages, all in English.
Recommended for the modeller for all the images and the aircraft enthusiast for the information provided.
My thanks to Kagero for the review sample.
