Гончаръ»,1992. – 65 с. Первая половина тридцатых годов явилась периодом расцвета бипланной схемы, но одновременно и началом ее заката. Именно в это время появляются скоростные истребители-монопланы, а вместе с ними — спор о недостатках и достоинствах одно- и двукрылых истребителей. При этом многие советские специалисты отдавали предпочтение биплану. Их привлекала компактность...
