have to love aerospace, The most thorough book on the Flanker, This book retraces the history of the Suand derived aircraft of the same family, both on the engineering and political/military sides,

This aircraft has known a difficult development phase, but the end result was worth the effort, It is an astonishing design and a marvel of engineering, whose platform is still used in modern designs,

A very interesting read which is typical of Yefim Gordon, full of technical details, historical anecdotes and highquality photographs, My only reproach is the lack of a proper index, Don't expect an easy read, though, Both the sheer size of it and its style will discourage the casual reader, This book is for people passionate about aviation history and military jets, The Sukhoi Design Bureau was tasked inwith developing a fourthgeneration heavy fighter and thus began the story of the Su, known to the western world as the Flankeran aircraft which turned out to be one of the most successful Soviet fighter designs.


This book tells the story of how the original project developed, how the final configuration of what was known as the Twas selected and why the brave decision to scrap the original project and rework it as the TS was taken, a decision that proved to be justified.
The book covers the design and testing of the prototypes in both configurations, the production entry of the basic Susingleseat fighter and the SuUB twoseat combat trainer together with the efforts of Sukhoi to keep them up to date with midlife upgrades to Generation' SuS level.
The operational histories of Suversions including the Su/Su/Suare also described,

When the Soviet Navy decided to bolster its fleet with carriers optimized for conventional takeoff and landing CTOL aircraft, Sukhoi responded by developing the SuK, which later entered service as the Su, Russia's first operational CTOL shipboard fighter.
These naval variants are included in the book as is a chapter describing the story of how China purchased license manufacturing rights for the Suand went on to develop its own versions with indigenous avionics and weapons, including the basic Jfighter and the JFlying Sharka clone of the Su.


The postSoviet republics included, the Su/Su/Su/Sufamily has seen service with nearlynations, including places as far apart as Vietnam, Malaysia, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Angola, India and Venezuela.


The book describes in depth the development and operational career of the Sufamily, including midlife upgrades and the latest variants, and features detailed fleet lists.
Richly illustrated with color photographs, line drawings and color profiles of the various color schemes carried by the type, this is the definitive work on a truly outstanding aircraft.
