Description

Oceola, WI: Motorbooks International, 1992. First edition. Paperback. Fine. Thanks to the spirit of Glasnost within the former Soviet Union, permission was granted in the West to publish this fascinating book on hitherto secret and mostly unknown Soviet experimental aircraft. The period covered ranges all the way from 1931 to 1989, so there's something here for everyone - vintage bi-plane types; pre-war designs; WWII propellor-driven fighters and bombers; early jet experiments; coming up to the late 20th Century with some truly exotic and mind-boggling machines. Each type is illustrated by clear black&white photographs, accompanied by succinct but informative text. Western intelligence services would have once given anything for a book like this - now you can read it for yourself. A treasure chest of information for aviation historians and enthusiansts. Contains 160 pages, 27 x 21cm, and illustrated throughout with b&w photos. Pictorial card covers in Fine condition. Internally, Fine: looks, feels and smells like new..
