MORE THAN HALF A CENTURY OF

 SOVIET TRANSPORTS (4th edition)

 

It has taken four years but, at last, the newest edition is ready. And what a publication ! With an enormous amount of new information. More than 12,000 previously unknown aircraft and a much larger number of previously unknown construction numbers has required this sequel to the third edition.

 

  • More than 86,000 records of aircraft produced in the former Soviet Union, Russia, Ukraine, Eastern Europe and China.
  • Details of more than 44,500 individual civilian and military transport aircraft and helicopters of nearly 90 types, an increase of 30 types fromthe            previous edition.
  • The complete history of more than 30,000 aircraft and helicopters registered in the USSR between 1958 and 1992, the Russian Federation between 1992 and 2004, and full register details of countless other Eastern European, African, Asian and C.I.S. countries.
  • Complete details of thousands of CCCP- and RA- registered aircraft in the service of the former Soviet and present day Russian Federation military, quasi-military and governments.
  • For each aircraft the construction number, exact type, the actual operator (including changes of operators), registration dates, and known cancellation dates or fates. A complete, quick cross-reference based upon country of registration, giving c/n as well.
  • Complete details of approximately 1,500 aircraft operated by civilian and military aircraft factories (non-Aeroflot or air force) in the former USSR and current Russian Federation.

    • But this is not only a must have source of information for the 'number cruncher'; this 4th edition contains a vast amount of data for enthusiasts of all interests.

  • Crash details, many previously unknown, including some indication of cause, total hours flown and cycles.
  • A full description of all aircraft factories and aircraft maintenance facilities in the former USSR.
  • An introduction to each type giving all relevant details of development and production.
  • A compendium of English/Russian aviation terminology with an explanation of Cyrillic characters.
