In the late 1960s the Soviet Union was working on a fourth-generation jet fighter concept. These aircraft would form the backbone of Warsaw Pact air forces in the next decade. The Soviet aerospace industry began considering enhancing combat capabilities with new air-to-air missiles and a sophisticated weapons control system. Thus the MiG-29 was born. High maneuverability, a high thrust-to-weight ratio, a wide speed range, and special short-range missiles are just a few of the MiG-29's special characteristics. This book extensively covers the concept, variants, upgrades, carrier trials, service, sales, and what the future holds for the MiG-29. Find out how the MiG-29 paved the way for aerodynamic refinements, improved handling, stability, and technological changes that simplified the building process. Learn details on the MiG-29's engine and controls.

This book provides a complete guide to modelling the Messerschmitt Me 262, the greatest jet fighter of World War II. Developed from a 1938 design, the Me 262 'Schwalbe' (Swallow) was the world's first operational turbojet aircraft. First flown as a pure jet in 1942, it proved much faster than conventional aircraft. Development problems, Allied bombings and cautious Luftwaffe leadership created delays that halted its production until late 1943. The Me 262 became the first jet aircraft used in combat when it attacked a British photo-reconnaissance Mosquito in July 1944 over Munich.

617 Squadron was formed in 1943 for a special mission to destroy the great Rhur Dams. Its exploits on the night of 16/17 May when two dams were successfully breached helped ensure that the 'Dambuster' squadron would be forever in the public conciousness. This book concentrates on the photographic coverage of the squadron from its formation in 1943 right through to its last wartime mission against Hitler's Eagle's Nest in May 1945. Personalities, raids and tactics are all featured in fact boxes to compliment the 250 plus original wartime photographs. All images are reproduced to the highest standards on high quality art paper as part of Red Kite's hugely popular 'In Focus' series.
