Back in the day I never got around to acquiring the authors' "Red Star" series book on this aircraft, but this feels like an expanded version of a book from that series; a VERY expanded version. If you're interested at all in Soviet interceptor aircraft you probably want to look at getting a copy of this book yourself (I was lucky to pick up a copy on the cheap). There's not much that I can mark this work down for, though there is still some of Gordon's tick of bolding the syllables that are to be strongly enunciated in Russian words, and there is a mild spin put on the KAL 007 Incident to put Soviet behavior in the best possible light; though the transcript of communications between the pilot and the command structure the authors provide does not reflect well on Soviet performance.

Closed in 1949, the Sukhoi Design Bureau was reborn in 1953 to meet an urgent demand for a fast interceptor that would counter the threat posed by NATO bombers. It wasted no time developing a succession of missile-armed, Mach 2 interceptors characterized by delta wings; the single-engined Su-9 entered service in 1960, followed by the up-armed Su-11 in 1964 and the twin-engined Su-15 in 1967. Though built in modest numbers, the three types became an important asset for the Soviet air defence force--particularly the more capable Su-15, which unfortunately became notorious for shooting down two intruding South Korean airliners within five years. The Su-15 outlasted the Soviet Union, the last being retired in 1996. There were also several Sukhoi interceptors that remained in prototype or project form. All known versions are described, as are operational details. The book features many rare and previously unpublished photos. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
