Publisher: Motorbooks Intl ISBN: 1857801946 WAPI (Tower ID): 100110293 Release Date: August 30, 2005 The aviation industry of the former Soviet Union produced many outstanding military aircraft. However, there were many other proposed projects that never saw the light of day and almost all of them were completely unknown in the West. The end of the Cold War gives the opportunity for researchers in Russia to uncover these projects for the first time. This volume, the first in a planned series of three, details many of the jet bomber projects drawn between the late 1940s and the present day and shows just how creative the design bureaus could be. A large proportion come from Tupolev, but there were others from Myasishchev, Sukhoi, and Yakovlev. Access to original archives from the bureaux has ensured a level of in-depth coverage and accuracy never previously possible. Soviet Secret Projects also describes the competitions between these projects for orders and shows the progress made in aircraft design behind the Iron Curtain. It will give both experts and enthusiasts the chance to compare this work to Western aircraft programmes. Most of the drawings and illustrations have never previously been published and many of the 'might-have-been' types are depicted in the form of models.

A number of previously unpublished Yakovlev designs from the late 1950s/early1960s form a separate chapter, followed by another looking at Yakovlev's VSTOL work. The book contains information on many unknown projects and relates these to aircraft which eventually did fly. Soviet Secret Projects Fighters Since 1945 shows how the various design bureaus had to compete to get orders and the book reflects on the great strides made in aircraft design behind the Iron Curtain after the war. It gives both experts and enthusiasts the chance to compare this work to Western aircraft programmes of the era. As with the other titles in Midland's �Secret Projects' series, this volume has many drawings and illustrations which have never previously been published. It also has some specially commissioned renditions off �might-have-been' types.
