This is yet another huge volume from our most prolific writer on Soviet aviation. Previous volumes have provided us with more information of Soviet and Russian aircraft than we could ever dream of a few years ago. Now we are presented with a vast amount of information of experimental projects, that would have been on the secret list not so long ago.

Because of the huge amount of information within the pages of this book all I can do is pick out some of the most interesting items. The book is divided into eight chapters, covering such things as Weapon Testbeds, Weather Research aircraft and Propulsion Testbeds etc. That being so you will find a mixture of ex-World War 2 machines and the latest hardware.

It gives us a well documented and researched look into an area of aviation that is often overlooked. The authors know their subject and do a good job conveying that knowledge! This book would be a good addition to the shelf of the aviation historian, Soviet and Russian aircraft enthusiast, anyone with an interest in research aircraft as well as modelers who are looking to build "something different" than your standard civil or military aircraft!
