Welcome to our new-look 'Books' page! Since we have taken on so many publishers from various countries over the last year, we decided to split the selections up into national categories (relating to where the publisher is based rather than subject matter). We will now use this page to alert you to new and forthcoming publications available from Linden Hill Imports.

Hardback, 224 pages. Russian text with many rare b/w photos. Sergey Isaev's book was published in a limited edition of 500 copies; we have the last nine copies. It is dedicated to the 32nd GvIAP, once commanded by Vasily Stalin, in the modern era, i.e from 1968 until its disbanding in 1990. It covers mostly the Regiment's time spent flying the MiG-23 at Shatalovo AB, and includes its pilots' service in Afghanistan during the late 1980s.
A great new booklet from the author of the ultimate Russian-language book on the MiG-29 9-12 (see below). 40 pages of dual Russian/English text on the famous VVS aerobatics team, featuring many color photos, team biographies, and detailed diagrams of team maneuvers. The book also features a short biography of the late commander of the 237th Aircraft Demonstration Center at Kubinka AB, Colonel Igor Tkachenko, who tragically was killed on August 16, 2009, while rehearsing with the Russian Knights team for the MAKS air show. Our Linden Hill Decals 'Strizhi' decal sets are still available in 1/48 and 1/72 scales.
Soft cover, 280 pages. Our old friend and Max Decals majordomo Joe Maxwell and his co-author have really come up with the goods on this fascinating new book. To quote the publisher himself: "Thoroughly researched
and highly informative, The Irish Air Corps - An Illustrated Guide provides a
wealth of material for the aviation enthusiast, historian and scale modeller.
Tracing its origins back to 1922 the Irish Air Corps is one of the smallest air
arms in Western Europe, yet it has been equipped with a wide variety of aircraft
types over its 87 year history. Here in one volume is a complete account of
every aircraft and helicopter type operated by the Air Corps, each illustrated
with colour photos or high quality colour profiles for the types for which only
black and white photos exist. Visually stunning, this definitive guide sheds new
light on an important aspect of Ireland's aviation heritage.
Be warned that the book weighs in at
over 3lbs (1.5Kg). Shipping and handling will be either the minimum $7.50 (for
most of the Eastern US) or at cost, whichever is the higher. For instance,
shipping to California would cost approx. $11 via USPS Priority Mail flat
rate box, and airmail to Canada would set you back US$17.
This superb newly published 224-page Russian-language book charts the service history of the MiG-29 9-12 (Fulcrum A) in the USSR, Russia and other CIS countries. It is profusely illustrated with many hitherto unpublished photos of the 9-12 in VVS service, many coming from the archives of MiG-29 pilots themselves, and including many new details of special regimental markings in the 1980s and 90s. The book also contains no less than 51 pages of 4C profiles and top-views. It took MiG-29 guru Anton Pavlov and his co-author Sergey Voylokov two years to complete the book, and the TLC expended on the book really shows. The 1,000 print run is selling fast in Russia and we have been very lucky to obtain a shipment. This book will not be around forever... We will have a few copies of the book available at Mosquitocon 09 on April 4 and are now accepting pre-orders for mail order shipments. Now in stock:

An amazing German-language book, which carries on where Lutz Freundt's four-volume series 'Soviet Air Forces in Germany' left off. The 300 profusely illustrated pages (575 photos) cover not only the airfields, units and aircraft deployed in the GDR, but also cover the post-WWII Luftwaffe airfields in Eastern Prussia (Koenigsberg/Kaliningrad, etc.), Pomerania, Eastern Brandenburg and Silesia (now Poland).
German-language photo-album documenting the history of the Corridor from 1945 to 1990. Another 'must-have' book from Lutz Freundt for students of the Cold War and modelers alike. 168 pages, 300 photos.
The new book from our good friend Valery Romanenko. This 96-page volume features many newly discovered photos of Soviet P-39K, L and M variants, along with some interesting pictures from the archives of the Niagara Aerospace Museum regarding the Lend-Lease delivery of P-39s to the USSR. Includes two pages of 4c profiles, a four-page section of 4c photos and an A3 sheet of 1/48 scale plans, taken from Soviet archives. You can find a review here: http://vvs.hobbyvista.com/Research/BookReviews/AiracobraKuban/ruchkovsky_review.php Text is in Russian with English-language photo captions. We're hoping to persuade Valery to include an English-language precis with his next book!
This lavishly illustrated 150-page volume charts the history of the VVS's 812th Fighter Air Regiment from its inception in March 1942, through to the liberation of the Crimea in May 1944. A second volume will chart the 812th's role in the liberation of Europe in the final year of the war. In addition to be the first VVS air regimental combat history published fully in English, the book contains 30 full color maps and diagrams, 26 large color scale profiles and 12 pages of deeply researched scale plans of the Yak fighter variants flown by the 812th IAP during the time period covered by the book. In short, it is a must-have volume for anyone interested in the air war on the Eastern Front.
German-language photo-album on Zlin series of trainers. 50 pages in 4-color. Includes many unpublished photos and lots of profiles of Zlins in international. An essential reference book when building the excellent little Toga Z-42M kit.
This final installment is in effect a 180-page photo album featuring over 300 photos (200 in color) of all types of aircraft in service in the GDR. These photos were submitted to the publishers following the publication of the first three volumes in the series. There are numerous gems to be found within the covers, including very rare shots of the NVA's sole Il-28U in flight and an early MiG-23S in Soviet markings acquired by the NVA . Such photos were taken at great personal risk to the cameraman! This volume cannot be recommended highly enough.
Polygon's Russian Aircraft in Action series. Each book in this English-language series contains roughly 80 pages packed with large format photographs (in b/w and 4 c), profiles and plans. A bargain at $17.95 per issue!
