Everything you would ever want to know about the Russian / Soviet Tu-4 bomber.By Bayard B.Everything you would ever want to know about the Russian / Soviet Tu-4 bomber developed from the American B-29 from about 1945 to 1947. I found Chapter 2 on the reverse engineering effort and Chapter 3 on the production effort the most interesting. The other chapters were excellent -- I just found the subject matter less interesting than those two. There are plenty of photos to accompany the text. It's kind of difficult to believe that material that the Soviets once considered to be top secret is now available in a book like this to anyone who wants to buy it.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. This is a excellent purchase for anybody with an interest in Soviet aviationBy JCALAnother worthy book by Mr. Gordon. Detailed; written with a bit of humor and a touch of national pride. This is a excellent purchase for anybody with an interest in Soviet aviation; Soviet manufacturing;or operations. The section on use by the PRC was a great bonus. Combining this volume Wolfs' volume on the B-29 would give a fairly decent library on the basic airframe.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. An excellent book; well researchedBy Mr. T.An excellent book; well researched. The Tu-4 was the first modern bomber of the Soviet Union. Well worth reading for any aircraft or even any B-29 history buff.
