Product Description:

The MiG-31 Foxhound long-range interceptor flew in prototype form as the Ye-155MP in 1975 and entered production in 1979, with the first regiments becoming operational in 1982. It has also been sold to China, and it remains in service in significant numbers. Yefim Gordon, the doyen of Russian aviation writers, continues to amass an outstanding archive of previously unpublished materials. Though the MiG-31 was covered to some extent in the now out-of- print and sought-after Aerofax on the MiG-25 and -31, this new book will be close to a definitive work on this important aircraft and include an enormous amount of newly released and acquired information and a splendid array of unpublished photographs (including detailed walk-around shots) and drawings. The narrative of course includes detailed discussion of the background to the project, its development, versions, service, weaponry, and comparisons with its contemporaries such as the F-14 Tomcat. The aircraft is a favorite with enthusiasts and modelers, and the extensive coverage, both technical and operational, backed up by high-quality images and drawings, will have wide appeal.

Best MiG 31 Resource to date by C. Paffhausen
Yefim Gordon has done it again. He has cranked out yet another great book on Russian/fSoviet aircraft and weapons systems. In this book Yefim covers the MiG-31 Foxhound. There are in depth statistics, including Radar modes and performance, Weapon system modes and performance, Weapons, and the general aircraft performance. About the only think I see wrong in the book is that it was apparently written LONG before 2005 publish date. I would guess the book was actually written in 1999-2000 due to the references to new production ideas from 2000 as the latest reference in the book. I am glad I added this book to my extensive Mil Aircraft library. I will continue to pick up other books from this series by Yefim.

Excellent Book on Mig 31 by Krishna Jagannath
The definitive book on the Mig 31 with excellent photos and technical information

A cross sectional cut-out view would have been nice - a good comparison with the F-14 Tomcat - this is one book where Yefim Gordon has done justice to a cold war warrior

Great book on the MiG-31 by Jason R. Camlic
Great book, best I’ve seen the MiG-31. Very good line drawings and outstanding photography. Great descriptions on the avionics, especially the phased array radar modes. I would however like to see more of flying the aircraft from the pilot’s perspective. The F-14 comparison is good but the ‘31 isn’t really a fighter.

foxhound by Colin Y. Marsetta
perhaps Yefim Gordon’s best work on a single aircraft. PLenty of high quality pictures, as well as an indepth look at the aircrafts operational and development history. This is defeinetly a must buy for anyone interested in Russian aviation. The section comparing the mig-31 to the f-14 is very interesting, although in my opinion it is slightly biased.
