Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Conceived in the early 1980s to ease the threat posed by the American ATF program, these fighters were developed as the Soviet Union's fifth-generation fighters. This book gives a detailed account of how Russia's two leading fighter aircraft designers competed for the order and how a third contender never made it to the hardware stage. It deals with the way these aircraft were conceived, designed, built, and flown.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book, July 15, 2002
By brilliantdream (United States) - See all my reviews
Yefim Gordon discussed both the project history, prototypes, technical details (From Fuselage, Landing gear, control System... etc, basically everything), and a little bit about Russian's next-generation fighter's prospect and how US fighter projects affects Russian.

In sum, it's a good book. However, my friend (who is a die-hard fan of Russian aviation) told me that if you are already familiar with these two projects, you won't get anything new out of it except nice pictures. Personally I am very satisfied because I need a reference like this. So whether this book is for you will depend on how will you know Russian fighter projects.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but..., April 27, 2003
By P. Tackowiak "ptack" (Basking Ridge, NJ USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
While a fairly good overview of these 2 aircraft, the evaluation of their capabilities is more than a little "soviet" sounding. In other words these 2 development projects are described as the greatest things since sliced bread. A more objective and blunt account of their drawbacks would have made this a great book. With the extremely limited funding available and the isolated nature of these aircraft as weapons systems (as compared to the F22 which will be a fully integrated theatre weapon and probably the last US manned air superiority fighter) the compromises made by the Russian manufacturers are major and would be interesting to read about.

4.0 out of 5 stars Worlds coolest looking jet planes!, October 5, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
First thing I like about this book is fact that it's the only book I can find information about S-37 and Mikoyan-MFI (1.44). I love the pictures of the planes but don't care about some of information, like the fact that everything about the planes little far from the truth especially from a soviet view, but l still think it a good book to have for people who love worlds coolest looking jet planes.
