	ICM Il'ya Muromets
		Igor Sikorsky, no less an over-achiever, designed the Il'ya Muromets aeroplane, a massive World War One bomber, the largest four-engined aeroplane in the world, able to carry a significant bomb load and to engage in long distance reconnaissance missions.
		The name "Il'ya Muromets" refers to a class of aeroplane (Woodman, Airfix Magazine, May 1985, p.352) of which the 'Veh' was one type; that which the ICM most resembles.
		The "Il'ya Muromets" aeroplane itself became a legend, and its design and achievements are a true landmark in aviation history.

		First designed as a training and light scout plane, the Sikorsky S-16 soon turned, similarly to other scout planes, into an armed fighter, becoming the first such plane of Russian design.

		Sikorsky S-16 is 32 pages long plus covers and is 9" x 12".
