### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Definitive book on the subject
  

*by J***W on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 May 2021*

The MiG-17 was an evolution of the famous MiG-15, however despite looking superficially very similar it actually evolved into a very different aircraft, with a new wing and a lengthened and re-profiled rear fuselage. Although it looked very much like a MiG-15, the increased wing sweep angle, stretched fuselage and bigger vertical stablizer made the MiG-17 a noticeably sleeker looking design which I find much more attractive than the rather short and dumpy MiG-15. Well armed and manoeuvrable the MiG-17 was a very effective fighter, a significant improvement over the MiG-15 and even after introduction of the supersonic MiG-19 it remained the backbone of the Soviet air force and many of their client country air forces until the MiG-21 and other supersonic designs replaced it. In Vietnam it managed to give a good account of itself against nominally much superior US fighters.This book is probably the definitive book on the subject and is everything you'd expect from a Yefim Gordon and Dimitry Komissarov book. A comprehensive text covering the design, production and service of the type both in Soviet and export service as well as Polish and Chinese production. The Chinese J-5 was particularly significant, being built in large numbers and also exported. The book is profusely illustrated with photographs, drawings and colour profiles. Produced to the usual high standard this book really is an outstanding volume, with lots of positives and no negatives.Very highly recommended, 5*.

    Mig heaven
  

*by M***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 July 2017*

Stunning book in the collection of soviet aircraft types written by Yefim Gordon. with extraordinary detail and photographs of the Mig-15 follow-on development and a lasting historical resource of information about an early-generation jet fighter that outlived its design life with many countries well into the arena of jet aircraft two or three generations beyond its own. Stunning book, and one of a collection of similar books by the same author. I look forward to additional editions on other Soviet types like the Mig-23/27, Mig-25, etc....

    Mikoyan Mig17 Famous Russian Aircraft.
  

*by C***L on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 August 2016*

Superb.  Upto the usual standard of these authors and contains everything you would wish to know about the Mig17. I found the details of various shoot downs of US aircraft during the cold war most interesting. Never knew a C130 shot down in 1958. Hope further volumes to follow on TU16,Mig25 ,Su25 &  Mig 19 etc.
