8-1/2 x 11 160 pgs 250 b&w & color photos drawings. The Su-7 was first flown in 1958, with deliveries to the Soviet Air Force beginning in the same year. It was developed in the late 1960s with a completely new variable-sweep wing as the Su-17 fighter-bomber, again further modified during its long life to take on many other roles including reconnaissance, training and so on. The Su-22 was an export version of the Su-17, and the 'Fitter' family has served with many air forces in Europe, Libya, Peru, Vietnam and Syria. The highly-maneuverable, single-seat Su-7 was produced in large numbers in the 1960s, making it of great interest to military aviation historians and enthusiasts. This book is packed with new, previously unpublished information and photos from Russian sources.
