Presumably based on the older Aerofax - if you've seen it, is there anything new in it?

OS & all,

Any word on this book?

Thanks,

Its a typical Yefim Gordon book, and recycles a fair amount of material from the older Aerofax on MiG-25/MiG-31. Some nice pics, but a lot of the more interesting ones are somewhat poor quality stills from video. Still the best book on the MiG-25 in English though.

If you like to know more about the MiG-25R you'll find more of interest in the airforce.ru article by Sergei Burdin.

I just got a copy, and it's not that bad of a book. Gordon seems to stay away from the anti-Western sentiment that is prevalent in a lot of his other books in various places, and that makes it a far more enjoyable read than, say, his Aerofax work on the MiG-23/27.
