Soviet Strategic Bombers - The Hammer in the Hammer and the Sickle (Hardcover)

The history of Soviet strategic bombers after the Second World War
is a fascinating one: from the reverse-engineering of interned
American Boeing B-29 bombers into the first Soviet strategic
bomber, the Tu-4; to the huge jet and turbo-prop powered aircraft
of today's Russian Air Force. This comprehensive history of these
aircraft will deal not just with the development of aircraft that
entered service, but of experimental aircraft as well, and projects
that were never even built will also be explored. The service life
of these bombers will be covered, including both active and retired
aircraft, and their use outside of the Soviet Union, in places such
as the Middle East and Afghanistan, will be described in detail.
The Soviet Union built some of the first jet-powered strategic
bombers, and the Tu-95 Bear, the only swept-winged turbo-prop
bomber to ever enter service, remains in service to this day. Less
successful aircraft, like the graceful but problem-plagued
supersonic Tu-22 Blinder, and the Mach 3 Sukhoi T-4 will also be
examined.
