From the outset, the export of revolution and Communist ideology had been one of the cornerstones of Soviet Russia's (and later the Soviet Union's) foreign policy and by the mid-1950's the export of Soviet arms expanded into Africa with Algeria being amongst the first African countries to receive Soviet combat aircraft. By the 1960's and 1970's, a large number of African states had gained independence and the Soviet Union increased supply. This situation persisted until the early 1990's when most of the former Soviet allies shed socialism and switched allegiance to the West. Having often been flown by foreign volunteer or mercenary pilots such as the Cubans in Angola and South Africans in Sierra Leone, Soviet/Russian military aircraft can now be seen in countries as varied as Algeria, Libya, the Congo, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Uganda, and Sudan. Combat types from the MiG-15 to the latest Su-30MK fighters, Su-24MK tactical bombers, Su-25 attack aircraft, Mi-24/25/35 helicopters and transports from the Antonov An-12 to the Il yushin Il-76 can all be seen across Africa. Arranged by country and using previously classified sources, Soviet and Russian Military Aircraft in Africa includes comprehensive fleet lists of all known Soviet/Russian military aircraft together with their Chinese derivatives. Highly illustrated with contemporary photographs, air force insignia and colour profiles this book forms an invaluable reference for modellers, enthusiasts and aviation historians alike. HARDCOVER, 272 pages with over 300 photographs and 100 colour profiles. Published April 2013 The title is imported on demand and a waiting period might apply.

Published by His Majesty's Stationery Office, 1925, although the facsimile signature of WF Nicholson for the Air Ministry is dated December 1924. This is a practical / survival booklet for shot down / stranded pilots, and contains fold out charts such as "Characteristics Used on British Ordnance Survey Maps", and navigational aids such as "Curves of Equal Magnetic Variation, 1922" for instance. There are also several sketch plans for re-rigging canvas of various aircraft of the time, two of which appear in the photos attached. There is a holder for a pen / pencil which was probably issued with this booklet, but this is missing. There is also an empty pocket to the rear, which probably contained some document in the past, but this is no longer present. There is now an original loose photograph of an aircraft, with the caption "The machines that flew us to the camp' in that folder. The spine is beginning to show netting on the title page. There is an RAF Halton (?) stamp on the board opposite. The fold out covers of the book are in reasonable condition, if a bit worn in places.

Condition: Good. Name of previous owner on flyleaf. Set in an unnamed African country, the book is narrated by Salim, a young man from an Indian family of traders long resident on the coast. He believes The world is what it is; men who are nothing, who allow themselves to become nothing, have no place in it. So he has taken the initiative; left the coast; acquired his own shop in a small, growing city in the continent’s remote interior and is selling sundries – little more than this and that, really – to the natives. This spot, this ‘bend in the river’, is a microcosm of post-colonial Africa at the time of Independence: a scene of chaos, violent change, warring tribes, ignorance, isolation and poverty. And from this rich landscape emerges one of the author’s most potent works – a truly moving story of historical upheaval and social breakdown. ‘Brilliant and terrifying’ -- Observer. ‘Naipaul has fashioned a work of intense imaginative force. It is a haunting creation, rich with incident and human bafflement, played out in an immense detail of landscape rendered with a poignant brilliance.’ -- Elizabeth Hardwick. ‘Always a master of fictional landscape, Naipaul here shows, in his variety of human examples and in his search for underlying social causes, a Tolstoyan spirit’ -- John Updike. About the author () V. S. Naipaul was born in Trinidad in . He went to England on a scholarship in . After four years at University College, Oxford, he began to write, and since then has followed no other profession. He has published more than twenty books of fiction and non-fiction, including Half a Life, A House for Mr Biswas, A Bend in the River and most recently The Masque of Africa, and a collection of correspondence, Letters Between a Father and Son. In he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.
