Stalin"s Jet Breakthrough

Being the only great power that came to the end of the Second World War without his own reactive aviation, the USSR long remained in the role of catching up. Despite the devastation and the post-war crisis of aviation production, the Soviet defense industry was able to make a real reactive revolution as soon as possible, not only eliminating the lag in the airline race, but also to derive our Air Force on advanced technical positions.
Already in 1947, the serial release of the world-famous MiG-15 jet fighter was launched, which during the Korean War proved that at least he was not inferior to the latest American developments, and something even exceeds them. This success was fixed in the following years when such truly revolutionary fighters as MiG-17, MiG-19 and MiG-21 rose into the air. Even many Western specialists recognize that by the end of the 1960s, the USSR became the world leader in the field of creating and mass production of combat aircraft.
This book is a detailed story about the Great Aviation Epoch, the history of the birth and the formation of an invincible reactive aviation of the Soviet Union
