This publication addresses the complexities of how Soviet military aircraft are designed and procured circa 1983, and starts with a look at the governments of the Union of Soviet Socialist republics and the ministries directly involved with the USSR’s aviation industry. It then progresses with how technical tasks are divided among several organizations, and how the designer works in the highly structured Soviet environment. It addresses methods of procurement, and then reviews the major Soviet aircraft. Very well-illustrated, this remarkably well-done document very clearly how the various Soviet military aircraft lines evolved – the explanations provided are among the best ever presented. Note that the General Dynamics engineer who provided this publication is still stapled to the book.
