Title: Mikoyan MiG 29 Fulcrum 1981 to present by David Baker. Haynes Owners Workshop Manual
Summary: The book examines the MiG-29 Fulcrum, one of the Soviet Union’s most important Cold War fighter aircraft. It explains why the aircraft was developed in the 1970s: primarily to counter advanced Western fighters such as the F-15 Eagle and F-16 Fighting Falcon. 
Baker takes the reader through:
Development and history – how the MiG-29 evolved from earlier Mikoyan fighters and entered Soviet service around 1981. 
Aircraft design – the aerodynamic layout, twin-engine configuration, structure, landing gear and flight-control systems. 
Cockpit and avionics – instruments, HUD, navigation equipment and flight-control systems. 
Engines and fuel system – detailed explanations of the aircraft's twin engines, fuel storage and fuel-transfer arrangements. 
Variants – differences between the principal MiG-29 versions and how the design developed into a multirole fighter. 
Operation and maintenance – how the aircraft was operated and maintained, supported by technical diagrams and photographs. 
Pilot experience – the book includes material from MiG-29 pilots and ground engineers, giving some insight into flying and servicing the aircraft. 
Performance – the MiG-29's exceptional manoeuvrability and short-range air-combat capabilities are an important part of the story. 
The central message is that the MiG-29 was far more sophisticated and capable than its Cold War reputation sometimes suggested. Its combination of powerful engines, aerodynamic design, manoeuvrability and sophisticated systems made it a formidable fighter. The book is particularly valuable because it looks inside the aircraft, rather than simply providing an operational history.
