The history of Long-Range Aviation dates back to the first half of the 20th century, when a talented Russian engineer and designer I.I. Sikorsky created the largest airplane in the world at that time - the Ilya Muromets. After the outbreak of the First World War, by decree of Emperor Nicholas II, all aircraft of this type were reduced to a heavy bomber squadron, which was the actual birth of the Russian Long-Range Aviation. In the book the reader can find a lot of interesting information about the development and production of aircraft of this type, their complex combat path and features of use on the fronts of the world war, as well as learn about the people who led these air giants to new victories, improving their design and heroically fought, defending their homeland. Thanks to the author's careful work with archival documents and ease of presentation, this book will be of interest to a wide range of history buffs.
