This book explores the development of Polikarpov's fighting biplanes from the 2I-N1 to his first aircraft to see production; to the I-3 and the I-5 created while the designer was in prison. This design paved the way for the I-15 which earned fame as the Chato during the Spanish Civil War and also saw action against the Japanese, and the I-15bis, which owed its existence mainly to Soviet Air Force's prejudice against gull wings; and the famous I-153 Chaika, a gull-wing biplane with retractable-landing gear. Experimental versions of this aircraft are also included. This title includes a detailed account of these aircraft's' combat roles and structural descriptions. The book also features details of the ill-starred I-190, which was to have superceded the Chaika, and of privately owned I-15bis and I-153s that have been restored to airworthy condition.

Polikarpov's Biplane Fighters
The first half of this book covers the development of the zero. technical goals all achieved by japanese engineers, advancing in many ways over the models of germans, british, americans, russians- have to take this on faith but the numbers are impressive. it is a very japanese book, praising mechanics, builders, even pilots, as particularly japanese values…
second half of the book covers ww2 in the pacific, starting with the war in china before the attack on pearl harbour. this is a japanese book and suggests the attack was necessary, that the us, the british, even the dutch, were threatening, were supplying the chinese, were intractable in demands. this may be the japanese history line, do not know, but there is a consistency in ideology and occasional expressions- the attack was glorious, the japanese resisted valiantly, the eventual development of kamikaze human bombs etc…
