5.0 out of 5 stars Very interesting study of Soviet experimental aircraft, 21 Sep 2001
By A Customer
Very interesting study of Soviet experimental aircraft and prototypes. Many Soviet aircraft types were built, and of course each was shrouded in secrecy. Not much text but really a photo easy from Soviet archives. Some very weird types like so called "mother ships", the "Caspian Sea Monster" and high Altitude aircraft. It also reveals a lot of information on the extent to which Nazi technology was tranferred to the Soviet Union contributing to make that country a leader in aerospce. A very interesting book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Proof that there is a thing as too much of a good thing...., 14 April 2006
By A. G. Corwin (St. Louis, MO) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I wanted to like this book. I was seduced by the S-37/47 Berkut on the cover, and imagined the book to be filled with exotic designs that marveled the mind and that each would have a fascinating story to tell about the hows and whys and why nots. There is that, once you seperate the fascinating from the not.

This book is full. I mean so full that it becomes repetitive and monotonous and I am an aviation enthusiast. The level of detail is impressive, with design ranging from the creative to the absurd. In compiling this level of detail, the authors are to be commended. But I feel that the book would have been so much better had the book focused on 30 of the most intriguing designs and told that story, rather than the 120-odd designs.

I would buy this used, because it does make for interesting reading, and the aviation enthusiast will enjoy parts, but probably not the whole. For me, I always enjoyed the Myasishschev designs for their unique grace.
