Descriptionof Early Soviet Jet Fighters
Manufacturer

Because of the Stalinist era in which the first Soviet jets were developed, up until now little has been known about the early post-war designs from the design bureaus of Mikoyan, Yakovlev, Lavochkin, Sukhoi and Alekseyev and the background to even relatively well-known types such as the MiG-9, La-9 and YAK-15 is barely documented. Other early jet types, proposals and projects were virtually unknown in the West. This gap is now redressed by the famous Soviet aviation historian Yefim Gordon and in his latest work he draws on extensive research in design bureau files, official documents and military archives, many of which have only very recently become available, having been labelled 'Top Secret' for decades.
This volume presents in considerable detail the development, history and technical specifications of the earliest Soviet jet fighters and the extensive illustrations - around 750 photos, over 50 specially-commissioned colour drawings and a host of line drawings - are mostly from previously classified sources the majority of which are previously unseen. This is a book which is certain to be essential reading for aviation historians, enthusiasts and modellers.
