About this product

Product Information

Despite the borders of the USSR being closed to majority of its population, Soviet citizens were among the world's most frequent flyers. Following the 1917 Revolution, Vladimir Lenin made the development of aviation a priority. Assisted by advertising campaigns by artists such as Alexander Rodchenko, Soviet society was mobilised to establish an air fleet - from the very beginning of the USSR through to its demise in 1991, Soviet aviation flew its own unique path. This book unfolds the story of Soviet air travel, from early carriers like Deruluft and Dobrolet, to the enigmatic Aeroflot. Organised like an Air Force, with a vast fleet of aircraft and helicopters, Aeroflot was the world's biggest air carrier of passengers and cargo, responsible for a wider range of duties than any other airline. In an era when it was still common to smoke on board, the Aeroflot emblem appeared on cigarette packets, matchboxes and many other everyday goods. Aeroflot publicity alerted domestic passengers to new destinations or proudly presented the introduction of faster, more comfortable aircraft, while colourful advertising enticed Western travellers to use Aeroflot's international services. Aeroflot - Fly Soviet uses this ephemera to illustrate a parallel aviation universe that existed for 70 years. It pays tribute to generations of aircraft engineers, designers, pilots, ticket sellers, flight dispatchers, air traffic controllers, ground handlers and flight attendants, who jointly created this remarkable chapter of Soviet civil aviation history.

Delightful & Suprising.
Oh my gosh, this is an absolutely delightful and surprising book. Was hesitant about purchasing it, especially since I was not really interested in Aeroflot itself. However, when I opened the book, I was completely surprised with the wonderful advertisement illustrations, and had no idea Aeroflot had so many. The photos were crystal clear, pertinent, and in a chronological order. The only aspect I would have liked to have seen was a bibliography. It is clear, though, the author truly enjoyed his subject and research because his story telling is convincing, insightful, and engaging. I highly recommend this 'Aeroflot. Fly Soviet'. (Catchy title, too). Thank you for such an enchanting literary work.Oh my gosh, this is an absolutely delightful and surprising book.
