Assuming that you have the first volume, you'll certainly want the second volume, which covers machines from the Hawker Fury, through the variety of monoplane aircraft the Yugoslav air arm found itself operating, and ending with Belgrade's efforts to field twin-engine, multi-purpose, warbirds.

It turns out that this work is both broader and narrower than the title suggests. It's broader in that it really functions as an organizational history of the air arm in question, as the coverage starts with the Serbian military aviation force cobbled together after the Serbian military found itself driven out of its homeland.
