SOVIET STRATEGIC BOMBERS The Hammer in the Hammer and the Sickle
Spring Sale: £7.99
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 covers not just with the development of aircraft that entered service, but of experimental aircraft as well, and projects that were never even built are also explored.

Description
The service life of these bombers is covered, including both active and retired aircraft, and their use outside of the Soviet Union, in places such as the Middle East and Afghanistan, is 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 are also examined.
