Product description

This latest Warpaint title covers the Aero L-39 Albatros, a a Czech-designed jet trainer and light attack aircraft developed by Aero Vodochody during the 1960s as a successor to the L-29 Delfin. It first flew in 1968 and entered service in 1972, becoming the standard jet trainer for Warsaw Pact nations. With over 2,900 units built, the L-39 became one of the most widely used jet trainers globally, praised for its reliability, ease of maintenance, and versatility. Building on this legacy, the L-159 ALCA (Advanced Light Combat Aircraft) was introduced in the late 1990s, developed to replace aging Soviet-era fighters in the Czech Air Force, first flying in 1997 and entering service in 2000.

This authoritative and highly relevant title includes all the regular Warpaint features with historical text and images, a full breakdown of the aircraft's widespread global service, and artwork an scale drawings by Petr Kolmann.
