4.0 out of 5 stars A detailed view of the MIG design bureau from within., January 10, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Mig: Fifty Years of Secret Aircraft Design (Hardcover)
This book is a must read for all fans of Soviet aviation. The translation is not first rate, but nowhere else can you get the inside story (one of the co-authors is the current head of the bureau). Reading between the lines, aviation students can obtain insight to Soviet design philosophies, propaganda techniques, and the unique way the MIG bureau attacked technical challenges. The photographs are on a par with the standard for avaition series, the Putnam Avaiation books, but the book as a whole is more readable than any of the Putnam books. Highly recommended reading.

3.0 out of 5 stars Official history of MiGs, June 19, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Mig: Fifty Years of Secret Aircraft Design (Hardcover)
This is the second book of MiG and its aircrafts. (The first comprehensive book was OKB MiG) This version is translated from French version. MiG was the same words of 'Sovite Fighter" for almost 50 yrs and almost every conflicts after World War Two. People knew those fighters designed by MiG more than any other design bureau. This official history of MiG is a very good book for people to undestand the past 50 yrs development of Soviet fighter design.
