Belenko12 reviews John Barron s.n, 1980 What would Spartacus do? I read this book to pieces -- literally -- when I was in my early teens, and just seeing the paperback cover reproduced here on Amazon ("Russia gave him everything a man could want -- except freedom" -- printed on the back) brings me way, way, waaaaay back, to an old story that never gets old.

He has cranked out yet another great book on Russian/fSoviet aircraft and weapons systems. In this book Yefim covers the MiG-31 Foxhound.

A superb monograph of a superb aircraft which may be the last MiG fighter to see service. Sadly, this book is becoming hard to find at a reasonable price.

MiGs Over Korea3 reviews Warren E Thompson, David R. McLaren Specialty Press, 2002 Sabres Vs MiGs-Aviation History at its Best!

I came across this book purely by accident in the library, and since the title sounded interesting, I decided to check it out just to see what the letters were like. I was expecting dry letters written by a hardened woman. Boy, was I wrong -- I love Bess! She's so funny, and her letters back home are wonderfully descriptive. At 21, she left Iowa to stake a claim in South Dakota. I'm only ...             Debate in Tibetan Buddhism (Textual Studies and Translations in Indo-Tibetan Buddhism)2 reviews Dan Perdue Snow Lion Publications, 1992 Thorough Text for Any Serious Practitioner This text is a fantastic work in helping to illuminate the use of debate in the context of Tibetan doctrinal work, specifically in the Proponents of Sutra Following Reasonsing (Sautrantika). While it does serve its purpose in doing so, Dan Perdue has also helped to explain some of the fundamental topics in Tibetan Buddhism, such as established bases and the different forms of reasoning. This ...             USAF F-4 Phantom II MiG Killers 1965-68 (Combat Aircraft)3 reviews Peter Davies Osprey Publishing, 2004 Air Force Phantoms Duel With Uncle Ho's MiGs! Air Force F-4 crews had a mixed track record against the North Vietnamese Air Force during the Rolling Thunder phase of the Vietnam war. The initial success rate was not maintained as F-4 crews expended missile after missile without scoring kills. Despite the success of units like the 8th TFW and 388th TFW, the overall USAF MiG-killing experience from 1965 to 1968 was disappointing.
