The book, Early MiG Fighters In Action, represents a pictorial study of the early aircraft produced by the Mikoyan-Gurevich (MiG) Design Bureau.  Until the collapse of the U.S.S.R. at the end of 1991, the MiG Design Bureau had almost a complete monopoly on the design and manufacture of fighter aircraft within the former Soviet Union.  Despite this fact, early MiG aircraft designs are not widely known.  The MiG-1 for example was the fastest fighter in the world in 1940 and the MiG-3 proved to be more than a match to the Bf 109 F at high altitude.  Other early designs included high-altitude fighter prototypes, rocket propelled aircraft and the MiG-9 the first pure jet-powered Soviet fighter.  The major sections of this book are as follows: 1) Introduction; 2) I-200; 3) MiG-1; 4) MiG-3; 5) Underwing Stores; 6) The MiG-3 in Combat; 7) MiG-3 Camouflage and Markings; 8) German MiG-3s; 9) The Romanian MiG-3; 10) I-230 (MiG-3U); 11) I-231; 12) I-220 (MiG-11); 13) I-222 (MiG-7); 14) I-224 (MiG-7); 15) I-225; 16) I-210 (MiG-9); 17) I-211; 18) DIS (MiG-5); 19) DIS-200 (MiG-5); 20) I-250 (N-1); 21) I-250 (N-2); 22) MiG-13; 23) I-270 (Zh-1); 24) I-270 (Zh-2); 25) I-300 (MiG-9); 26) I-302 (MiG-9); 27) Chinese MiG-9s; 28) I-302; 29) I-305; 30) I-307 (MiG-9); 31) I-307 'Babochkoi'; 32) I-308 (MiG-9M); 33) I-3017 (MiG-9 UTI); 34) MiG-9L; 35) MiG-9 In Detail and 36) MiG-9L.  In addition to an informative narrative and picture captions, "Early MiG Fighters In Action" includes the following features: 1) Approximately 79 black and white photographs; 2) About 26 color photographs; 3) Approximately 54 black and white illustrations; 4) 1 four-view MiG-3 black and white illustration with specifications; 5) 1 four-view MiG-9 black and white illustration with specifications and 6) 3 color aircraft paintings.  This book is 56 pages and is in new condition.  The author is Hans-Heiri Stapfer with Don Greer (colorist) and Matheu Spraggins (illustrations).  Edition published in 2009.
