Mikoyan MiG29

This the second title in our ‘Famous Russian Aircraft’ series examines, in great detail, the MiG-29. It can be said confidently that the Soviet MiG-29 tactical fighter has had the same success as its celebrated stablemate, the earlier MiG-21. Even though the type has received extensive coverage both in books and magazines, no previous publication has ever offered such in-depth or detailed coverage of the type. This book describes the aircraft’s full development history and examines the many versions, which appeared. There are also full operational details of the fighter’s performance in the various conflicts in which it saw service.

This complete monograph covers the MiG-29 from every possible angle. It not only details all the latest versions of the MiG-29 which have not been dealt with in the Western press, such as the MiG-29M2 (MRCA), MiG-29OVT and the Indian version of the MiG-29K/KUB currently under development but considerable attention is also paid to the insignia carried by the MiG-29 in the various air forces operating the type, including regimental and squadron badges and nose art.
