Synopsis
This authoritative, new study reveals how imported American aircraft, engines, and aviation equipment were used in pre-revolutionary Russia, the Soviet Union, and today's Russia, influencing the development of aircraft industry, civil, and military aviation over the years.
U.S. aviation first 'set foot' on Russian soil in 1908, and since then many different aircraft have found their way there; between 1910 and 1916 the Russian Navy took delivery of Curtiss floatplanes and flying boats. Between the two World Wars, Boeing and Martin attempted to sell their aircraft to the Soviet Union, and many different variants were imported. Several of the most successful of these were not only imported but also built under license.
During World War II, Soviet airmen flew and fought in U.S. aircraft supplied under the Lend-Lease agreement and these planes proved very popular with Soviet aircrew. After the Cold War, cooperation was established between U.S. and Russian aircraft manufacturers and research establishments (such as the effort by Sukhoi and Gulfstream to create supersonic business jets); deliveries of U.S. aero engines for certain Russian aircraft have also taken place.
This unique book is illustrated with more than 600 vibrant photographs, many of which have never before been published, and several enviable line drawings and color profiles that will be of great interest to aviation enthusiasts everywhere.
