Duke Hawkins: Su-34 Fullback - Aircraft in Detail 029 DH-029 - is an 140 page book focussing solely on the Sukhoi Su-34 Fullback. Throughout this book, many action photos of the aircraft, in service since 2014, can be found, both on the ground and in the air. 

The huge fighter-bomber that was designed to replace the Su-24 has never been pictured as close and in such detail as in this book. The book brings a lot of action photographs and unseen details, including fuselage, landing gear, fear bays, wings, engine exhausts, vertical tails and of course the cockpit. 

Both the initial and the upgraded cockpit are included in an extensive chapter. 

Every part of the aircraft is shown in great detail: the fuselage, landing gear and gear bays, wings, engine exhausts, vertical tails are examined in detail.

All the photos were taken before the start of the war in February 2022, which has shown that the aircraft is also vulnerable for ground fire; already 20 have been lost in the war. 

The book has over 300 photos across the 140 pages.

Available for shipping in May. You can order these books if you like what you see from the HMH-Publications website or their distributors worldwide.
