At the end of the Second World War three Boeing B-29s fell into Soviet hands. From these, in a remarkably short time, came the Soviet copy. This book examines the evolution of the 'Superfortresski' into the Tu-70 military transport, Tu-75 civil airliner and Tu-85, the last of Tupolev's piston-engined bombers. Also described are various experimental versions, including the Burlaki towed fighter programme, flight refueller and missile carrier versions, and the Chinese turboprop AWACS and drone launcher versions. 11 colour and 227 b/w photos. Line drawings. 128 pages. Softback
