Stratus 50968 Polish Wings No. 09 Sukhoi Su-7 and Su-20 EN

Stratus 50968 Polish Wings No. 09 Sukhoi Su-7 and Su-20 is a unique publication aimed at modelers and military aviation enthusiasts. The book, authored by Dariusz Karnas and illustrated by Artur Juszczak, was released in 2009 by Stratus publishing house. In this 56-page, fully color album (A4 format), a broad cross-section of Sukhoi Su-7 and Su-20 aircraft used by the Polish Air Force is presented.

Rich in new, previously unpublished archival photographs, the compilation also includes detailed painting and marking schemes, providing invaluable assistance to scale modelers building kits in popular scales such as 1/72, 1/48, and 1/32. The book thematically covers the Cold War period – the Su-7 served in Polish aviation from the 1960s, and the Su-20 from the 1970s until their withdrawal in the early 1990s.

The Sukhoi Su-7 is a Soviet supersonic fighter-bomber, introduced into service at the end of the 1950s and widely used during the Cold War. In turn, the Sukhoi Su-20 is a modernized export version of the Su-17M, equipped with variable-sweep wings. The Polish Air Force operated these aircraft in units located in Powidz, Mirosławiec, and Świdwin, among others.
