Editorial Reviews

Product Description
<div>This is the second title in the Midland Famous Russian Aircraft series, which examines in great detail some of the most significant aircraft produced by the Soviets over the years. This complete monograph covers the MiG-29 from every possible angle. It not only details all the latest versions of the MiG-29 which have not been covered in the Western press, such as the MiG-29M2 (MRCA), MiG-29OVT, and the Indian version of the MiG-29K/KUB currently under development, but it also covers the insignia carried by the MiG-29 in the various air forces operating the type, including regimental and squadron badges and nose art. The book also includes a full listing of the Russian air force units operating the MiG-29 and fleet lists of the MiG-29s operated by non-Russian air arms which acquired the aircraft. As well as being of great interest to aviation historians, the book will also attract aviation modelers. Much of the content will appeal to this market, as it contains a large selection of scale drawings of MiG-29 variants from the files of the Mikoyan Design Bureau, as well as three cutaway drawings. Numerous color side views depict the MiG-29 in service with Russian air force units and those of other nations. </div>

About the Author
<div>Yefim Gordon is one of Russia’s leading aviation writers and publishers.  He is the author of many books on Soviet aviation and currently lives in Moscow.</div>

5.0 out of 5 stars ONe of the best monograaphs ever on a single modern combat aircraft in English, April 12, 2007
Beautifully and comprehensively produced. Everything you want to and need to know about the MiG-29 -- and reasonably up-to-date. The photos, virtually all color and of excellent quality, are numerous. The text is well written and in idiomatic English. It covers every segment of this very important fighter's career from conception, early development, deployment and future with engineering and scale drawing showing how the aircraft came to be. The personalities involved are covered; sections on the naval and export versions are included in depth. Weaponry and wonderful close-ups are not forgotten as are comparisons between the Fulcrum and its competition as well as in-depth studies of the various models.

Perhaps as valuable as anything else, are many dozens of examples of exceptional artwork (side-views and four-views) of the MiG-29 in all its iterations (save, inexplicably, a color rendering of the Mig-29M2). There are cutaways, lineage charts of development, in fact anything you can dream up all for an amazingly reasonable price via Amazon.com.

Indispensable for anyone interested in this aircraft and as good as virtually anything produced on amy single plane. OUTSTANDING!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best MiG-29 Resource to date!, August 23, 2007
By C. Paffhausen (Michigan USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is my second "Famous Russian Aircraft" book series purchase. The MiG-31 book I reviewed several months ago set a bar that this book on the MiG-29 BROKE! Any data from older versions of the MiG-29 that is not currently classified in Russia is in this book. Likewise Gordon has done a good job describing how the MiG corporation has evolved during the time of the MiG-29's production run. The only thing missing from this book is a good photo of the new MiG-29K for India and any sort of info on Laser Designator pods (references are made but all are vague) This seems to be normal for Gordon books and while there are two airshow pictures with LD pods in them no mention is ever made of name/designation etc.
