Title: MIG-23 

Designed in the mid 1960’s as a successor to the MIG-21, the MIG-23 first flew in 1967. In addition to a much more powerful engine it included a variable sweep wing. This allows a heavy weapons load to be carried while giving acceptable take-off performance, and also allowing a maximum speed of over Mach two. Equipped with a powerful radar, infrared search and track, and a selection of radar and infrared guided weapons, the MIG-23 was a formidable adversary and like its earlier brother it saw extensive export success in Eastern Europe and the Middle East.

In the late 1980’s the USAF operated a squadron of examples obtained from certain Eastern European countries for evaluation purposes.

This title contains several scanned Russian publications covering single and twin-seat variants of the MIG-23, plus two manuals in English covering export aircraft.
