OKB SUKHOl
History of the Design Bureau & its Aircraft

This is a definitive history of one of the world's most famous aircraft design bureaux.
Sukhoi, its founder Pavel O. Sukhoi, and its many stellar engineers and craftsmen are thoroughly documented in this new book. Prepared with the cooperation of the Moscow-based bureau, it is the result of unprecedented access to rarely seen records and vintage photographic archives. In addition, the authors have accessed other Russian sources long hidden from public viewing or western scrutiny. The result is a massive amount of fresh and previously unpublished informa-tion in what certainly will become the standard reference for all time on this important Russian aircraft producer.

Each individual Sukhoi aircraft type is reviewed in exceptional detail. Included are prototypes, testbeds, miscellaneous uncom-pleted projects and design stud-ies, and a plethora of production types. Nearly a thousand three-view drawings and photographs depict every aircraft known to have been developed under the auspices of the Sukhoi name.
