This next release in MMP's Single series concentrates on the PZL P.11a. This was the type put into service prior to the more widely built P.11c. In many respects it is quite similar. The only visual difference is the fin/rudder which has a flatter top surface. Not many survived the German and Russian invasion and those that did were generally scrapped.

In line with the other releases, this one is in the large A4 size with several distinct sections. There is no history of the type, but there are superbly done plans in both 1/48 and 1/72 scale. This includes fuselage and wing cross sections that are often missing from other plans. The book includes a goodly number of period photos showing both the entire aircraft and some details. A real plus to this are a number of illustrations from the airframe manuals. Since there are no extant airframes, the number of period images are greater than in some of their other books. The book finishes up with large, full page color four views of an in-service example.

It is another great addition to the MMP family of books that offers all that both the modeler and the enthusiast are seeking in a plans/detail book on a specific aircraft without going into a ton of detail. It is a book that I found to be well done and one that I can highly recommend to you.
