Siberia - infamous for its brutal winters, and larger than the
entire United States - is not the only wilderness within the former
Soviet Union. Harsh southern deserts, arctic islands, disputed
border regions, and minority populations beligerent towards the
their present government are spread all across the gigantic nation.
Flying over Russia presents risks few other aircrews in time of
peace must face. And while Russian combat aircraft are world
renowned for their reliable performance, what happens when
something does go wrong? Given their exceptional egress systems -
odds are the pilot will eject safely, but how does he survive and
advance under such potentially dire circumstances? MiG Pilot
Survival: Russian Aircrew Survival Equipment and Instruction
explores the components and details of Russian survival science
with color photographs, in depth descriptions, and a full
translation of the exact manual - with original illustrations
intact - as used by Russian aircrews in time of crisis, Alan R.
