This is one of the volumes of Time-Life's splendid series "Epic of Flight". Like all of Time-Life's publications, the book itself is handsome and inviting. It features an attractive, embossed cover, quality paper, and scores of illustrations. Some are in color: reproductions of patriotic ("propaganda") posters, detailed paintings of various aircraft. Most are black-and-white photos spanning a period of one hundred years. The text covers the history of Russian aviation, from Tsarist times to the height of the Cold War. In 1884, Aleksandr Mozhaiski built a steam-engine monoplane with a wingspan of 40 feet.
