Covering their development from the late 1960s through extensive global service, it features rare photos, technical details, and firsthand accounts, making it an essential resource for military aviation enthusiasts and professionals seeking a balanced, in-depth understanding of these iconic Cold War jets. ## Description Originally conceived as a replacement for the famous MiG-21, changing priorities turned the MiG-23 into a STOL fighter with variable-geometry wings that first flew in June 1967. After two years of testing, the aircraft, codename Flogger, entered service in 1969. From then on development of the Flogger proceeded along two parallel lines firstly as a fighter/interceptor with a two-seat trainer variant and later as a fighter/bomber which evolved into the MiG-27 used by the Soviet Air Force. This, in turn, was progressively improved as the MiG-27D/MiG-27M and the MiG-27K. The MiG-23 family was widely exported. New aircraft were supplied to the Soviet Union's Warsaw Pact allies and selected nations in the Middle East, Africa and Asia. Later, second-hand machines were sold from CIS stocks to various parts of the world, which allowed the MiG-23 to remain active abroad longer than in Russia where single-engined combat jets had been phased out in 1997. The Flogger saw a good deal of action. Soviet MiG-23MLDs were actively used in the Afghan War; elsewhere, the fighter variants saw action in Syria (both in against Israel in the 1970s and in the Syrian Civil War), Libya, Iraq, Angola and Sudan. The fighter-bombers also fought in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Sri Lanka. This comprehensive book describes the development and service history of all variants of these aircraft, featuring fleet lists and numerous rare photos and colour profiles. Review: Anothother great book on famous Russian aircraft - Best book I think on the Mig-23/Mig-27.Iam glad I got this book.It is highly informative and most enthusiast will want this book. Review: Cold war fighter - This book is a surprisingly deep and enjoyable dive into two of the most misunderstood Soviet fighters—the MiG-23 and its ground-attack sibling, the MiG-27. Even if you’re not a hardcore Cold War aviation fan, the authors make the story of these swing-wing jets interesting and accessible. The book mixes history, development, technical detail, and real pilot experiences in a way that never feels heavy. You get a clear picture of why the MiG-23 had such a mixed reputation in the West, and at the same time you see how it evolved into a far more capable aircraft than most people give it credit for. The MiG-27 section is equally good, especially if you’re into strike aircraft and the Soviet approach to low-level attack missions. The photos, diagrams, and color profiles are excellent—classic "Famous Russian Aircraft" series quality. If you enjoy Eastern Bloc aviation or just want a balanced, informative look at two important but underrated jets, this book is absolutely worth the read. ## Features - Reference Book - Mikoyan MiG-23 & MiG-27: Famous Russian Aircraft Hardcover by Yefim Gordon Dmitriy Komissarov Crecy Publishing ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,990,601 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #4,517 in Military Aviation History (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 142 Reviews | ## Images ![Famous Russian Aircraft: Mikoyan MiG-23 and MiG-27 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71MBBh0WxeL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Anothother great book on famous Russian aircraft *by T***R on April 20, 2026* Best book I think on the Mig-23/Mig-27.Iam glad I got this book.It is highly informative and most enthusiast will want this book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cold war fighter *by T***S on November 25, 2025* This book is a surprisingly deep and enjoyable dive into two of the most misunderstood Soviet fighters—the MiG-23 and its ground-attack sibling, the MiG-27.

The MiG-23 interceptor was developed during a period when Soviet and US-NATO aircraft designers were working on several swing-wing and variable geometry (VG) wing designs. The US-NATO designated "Flogger" was actually the third Soviet design to bear the designation, though the only one placed in full-rate production (at four Soviet aircraft factories for most of its production history). This volume continues the fine Soviet aircraft histories of Yefim Gordon and Dmitriy Komissarov, and is produced on high-quality art paper, fully illustrated with color & B&W photos, three-view drawings, and a whopping 560-pages of technical, production, and operational histories of the aircraft that served - or are still serving - in foreign air forces. The massive volume is organized into 11 chapters, three appendices, and an index. These include: * * Choosing the right-way; a review of operational and design background information of the MiG firm' * * Third Time Lucky: focus begins on the final Flogger design; * * MiG-23 Fighter versions * * The MiG-23 in detail; an extensive review of everything external and internal with the aircraft design; * * In Soviet service; a review of Soviet Air Force's squadrons that the interceptor versions served with; * * Strike Versions: The beginning; development of the MiG-27, from its origins as a modified MiG-23 variant; * * The duck-bills: New Role, New Name: emergence of the MiG-27 as a separate design aircraft; * * The strike version in detail; * * The strike version in Soviet service; * * Foreign Floggers in action; an review (pages 371-388) of foreign service operational uses of the aircraft; * * The operators; coverage of all foreign air forces flying either MiG-23 or MiG-27 variants. The three appendices include: No. 1 - Mig-23 family specifications No. 2 - Mig-23 family production (full listing of production aircraft, by production Version, Serial Registration / Tactical Code Number (Red 23, etc.) and Year Manufactured; No. 3 - Accident attrition; a series of know crashed, with photos from local sources where possible. The Index is extensive (three pages) and covers everything from individual squadrons to associated missiles, avionics, facilities associated with the aircraft (test and development, production facilities, etc.). One would not find a more thorough volume on this unique, often maligned, aircraft design.
