Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Thorough Aerofax-series coverage is given here to the 'Fitter' family of Soviet fighters and fighter-bombers, with masses of fresh information and images emerging from previously unseen Russian sources.
The Su-7 was very first flown in 1958, with deliveries to the Soviet Air Force beginning in the same year. It could be seen as the Soviet contemporary of the F-100 Super Sabre. The original high-speed, highly-maneuverable single-seat fighter was developed in several versions and produced in large numbers for the VVS and Warsaw Pact countries during the 1960s.
It was developed in the late 1960s with a completely new variable-sweep wing as the Su-17 fighter-bomber, again further modified during its long life to take on many other roles including reconnaissance, training and so on. The Su-22 was an export version of the Su-17, and the 'Fitter' family has served with many air forces in Europe, Libya, Peru, Vietnam and Syria.

Every prototype/variant/one-off is discussed in great detail in this book. Everything about the different variants, who flew/flies them, serial numbers, diagrams... all by the legendary Yefim Gordon. Pretty much the Fitter Enthusiasts bible!
Rated by buyers -
Yefim Gordon has once again delivered a superlative book on Russian/Soviet aviation with this Aerofax release on the Su-7/17/20/22 FITTER fighter bomber. Serving air forces worldwide for well over 25 years, the FITTER family evokes special fondness for many aviation enthusiasts. Published by noted British aviation publisher Ian Allen Publishing, and carried under the Aerofax imprint, this book is a must for your bookshelf.
Gordon offers a treasure trove of pictures, designs, and information gathered from his personal collection and from the Sukhoi OKB. At over 175 pages, the book captures the wide sweep of the program from drawing board to combat in Afghanistan. Included is the design and development of the FITTER from the swept wing Su-7 model, to its swing wing sisters: the Su-17, Su-20, and Su-22. Everything you ever wanted to know about these magnificent aircraft is within, up to and including the degrees, minutes, and seconds of the wing sweep. Details on every Soviet modification and testbed FITTER are also included, as well as numerous photos and line drawings of aircraft that served in air forces across the globe. The FITTER was a widely exported aircraft, and Gordon and Aerofax do the subject considerable justice.
For the aviation enthusiast or for the professional, you can't go wrong with the Aerofax series on Soviet and Russian Air Power. Yefim Gordon is considered the best for a reason, and this book is worth every penny. Highly Recommended.
