Thanks for your comment. I browsed a copy last year, but put it back. Sounds like I didn;t pay attention to the content, only the title.

I do believe that there are a few publishers that consistently demonstrate a commitment to quality, and I feel comfortable buying their books unseen. I alphabetical order, Classic Publications, Eagle Editions, and Hikoki.

As far as Soviet aircraft designs, there is no reason that they should have been inferior to western designs. They were, however, designed for a different set of circumstances.[/quote]
