4.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly interesting and detailed subject, October 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: MiG Pilot Survival: Russian Aircrew Survival Equipment and Instruction (Paperback)

With the largest wilderness areas in the world, hostile climates and unfriendly local populations, Russian pilots had better know effective survival techniques and have good equipment. And they do! A very refined science, Russian survival tech has saved countless pilots, and cosmonauts too! This is the only text to cover the subject and includes a complete translated copy of their issued manual using the original illustrations. Lots of color photos details all their gear.

This review is from: MiG Pilot Survival: Russian Aircrew Survival Equipment and Instruction (Paperback)

The book is a good reference source on specialized equipment. Its only limitation is that it covers only a narrow period of Soviet equipment. Even so, it is a good book for a collector of Soviet items, flight gear, or anyone with an interest in military survival gear.
