It's not  so much about the actions or pilots who flew the type, (that's well covered by Dan Antoniu), but a very detailed book on the actual planes. More of a very detailed modeling reference.

 370 pages of detailed drawings of every version, batch or series of the planes. Most likely around 1000 photos, some sixty color profiles. All systems explained with detailed factory diagrams, from engine, electrical system, hydraulic system, cooling, weapons, bombs and all the way to seat belts and tires used on this planes. Nothing new on performance though, over the IAR-80 French book, but overall very detailed work.

The publisher has a youtube video with the book:

This is pretty good IAR-80/81 reference.

I was going to post something about this! I got the book about the Il-2 by the same publisher and it was advertised on the back.

And the Il-2 book is advertised on the back of the IAR book.
