[Cat.
1998] Until the collapse of the USSR, the development of
Soviet aviation was kept secret, and authors have only recently had
access to large quantities of previously unpublished material. Bill
Gunston has taken advantage of the new openness, and his connections
at Tupolev, to produce a superb history of Tupolev aircraft from the
ANT-1 to the Tu-2000. With its extensive collection of photographs
and line drawings, Gunston describes all the Tupolev types and many
of the projects in unprecedented detail.

Notes:
[p.vii] ... Carl G. Ahremark who produced most of the general
arrangement drawings
[cat.
1998] The author analyses, in the usual Putnam style, the
development of a company which became famous for its single- and
twin-engined aeroplanes, its executive aircraft and commuter liners.
Inevitably, much stress is laid upon the Beech 17 staggerwing, which
commands worldwide interest, and the Beech 18 which was produced for
a longer period than any other aircraft type.
