The photos in this edition are black and white. The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21 Fishbed, a lightweight air-combat fighter, is one of the most famous military aircraft in the world. No other warplane has been manufactured in such large numbers (over 10,000 in the Soviet Union and about 2,000 in China and India) since World War II. Nor has any other fighter served with so many air forces (the current count is 56). This global success was the MiG design bureau's fourth in succession in the immediate postwar era. Powered by one Tumansky R-11F-300 rated at 12,675 lb (w/ afterburner), the MiG-21 was easy to maintain, tough in the harshest environments, and very affordable. It was designed to climb fast to high altitudes, at all heights, and to excel in close combat. This book covers all MiG-21 upgrades and variants, as well as combat and armament specifications. Over 300 photos are used to illustrate the story of the MiG-21. It features technical diagrams and gives a comprehensive development history. Other topics include design, development, structural detail, international production, trials, comparisons, and much more.

George Griffith (full name George Chetwyn Griffith-Jones; (1857 1906)) was a prolific British science fiction writer and noted explorer who wrote during the late Victorian and Edwardian age. Many of his visionary tales appeared in magazines such as Pearson's Magazine and Pearson's Weekly before being published as novels. Griffith was extremely popular in the United Kingdom, though he failed to find similar acclaim in the United States, in part due to his revolutionary and socialist views. A journalist, rather than scientist, by background what his stories lack in scientific rigour and literary grace they make up for in sheer exuberance of execution."To-night that spark was to be shaken from the torch of Revolution, and to-morrow the first of the mines would explode. the armies of Europe would fight their way through the greatest war that the world had ever seen." From Griffith's most famous novel 'The Angel of the Revolution'.He was the son of a vicar who became a school master in his mid twenties. After writing freelance articles in his spare time, he joined a newspaper for a short spell, then authored a series of secular pamphlets including "Ananias, The Atheist's God: For the Attention of Charles Bradlaugh". After the success of Admiral Philip H. Colomb's 'The Great War of 1892' (itself a version of the more famous The Battle of Dorking, Griffith, then on the staff of Pearson's Magazine, submitted a synopsis for a story entitled 'The Angel of the Revolution'. It remains his best and most famous work. It was the first synthesis of the 'marvel' tale epitomised by Jules Verne, featuring futuristic flying machines, compressed air guns and spectacular areal combat, the 'future war' tales of Chesney and his imitators and the political utopianism of Morris's News from Nowhere. He wrote a sequel, serialised as 'The Syren of the Skies' in the magazine and published as a novel under the title of its main character Olga RomanoffAlthough eternally overshadowed by H.G. .

To-night that spark was to be shaken from the torch of Revolution, and to-morrow the first of the mines would explode.the armies of Europe would fight their way through the greatest war that the world had ever seen. From Griffith s most famous novel The Angel of the Revolution . He was the son of a vicar who became a school master in his mid twenties. After writing freelance articles in his spare time, he joined a newspaper for a short spell, then authored a series of secular pamphlets including Ananias, The Atheist s God: For the Attention of Charles Bradlaugh. After the success of Admiral Philip H.

It remains his best and most famous work. It was the first synthesis of the marvel tale epitomised by Jules Verne, featuring futuristic flying machines, compressed air guns and spectacular areal combat, the future war tales of Chesney and his imitators and the political utopianism of Morris s News from Nowhere. He wrote a sequel, serialised as The Syren of the Skies in the magazine and published as a novel under the title of its main character Olga Romanoff Although eternally overshadowed by H. G. Wells, Griffith s epic fantasies of romantic anarchists in a future world of war dominated by airship battlefleets and grandiose engineering provided a template for steampunk novels a century before the term was coined. The influence of books such as The Angel of the Revolution and the character of Olga Romanoff on British fantasy writer Michael Moorcock is striking. Though a less accomplished writer than Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Rudyard Kipling and H.G. Wells, his novels were as popular in their day and foreshadowed World War I and the Russian Revolutions and the concepts of the air to surface missile and VTOL aircraft. He wrote several tales of adventure set on contemporary earth, while The Outlaws of the Air depicted a future of aerial warfare and the creation of a Pacific island utopia. Sam Moskowitz described him as undeniably the most popular science fiction writer in England between 1893 and 1895. His science fiction depicted grand and unlikely voyages through our solar system in the spirit of Wells or Jules Verne, though his explorers donned space suits remarkably prescient in their design. Honeymoon in Space saw his newly married adventurers exploring planets in different stages of geological and Darwinian evolution on an educational odyssey which drew heavily on earlier cosmic voyages by Flammarion, Wells, Lach-Szyrma, and Edgar Fawcett. Its illustrations by Stanley Wood have proved more significant, providing the first depictions of slender, super intelligent aliens with large, bald heads - the archetype of the famous Greys of modern science fiction. As an explorer of the real world he shattered the existing record for voyaging around the world, completing his journey in just 65 days, and helped discover the source of the Amazon river. He died of cirrhosis of the liver, at the age of 48, in 1906.
