Description
The book traces the development of Soviet long-range aviation from World War II until the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, including the initial steps in the creation of air-to-ground missiles, the first supersonic long-range bombers, and the powerful Tu-160, capable of carrying up to 12 cruise missiles. The text is supplemented by more than 500 photographs that have not been published outside Russia before, as well as 61 color drawings and pen sketches of aircraft and their armaments, making this book an indispensable source of information for all aviation enthusiasts of the period.
