Titles: MIG-21 No’s 1 and 2

The MIG-21 was the most famous of the Russian cold-war fighters, as well as one of the most extensively produced of all jet fighters, with well over 10,000 being produced over a 30 year production life.

First shown to the West in 1955 during a May-Day parade, it did not enter production and air force service until about 1960. Since then numerous variants have been produced, and the aircraft has enjoyed extensive export success.

We offer two titles on this attractive and capable aircraft. Each title contains Flight or Technical Manuals for various models of the MIG-21, some in English and some in the original Russian. The files have been scanned from the original flight manuals unless otherwise stated. Each Title is US$9.95.
