Thanks for the heads up - this is real fast

The first recipient of Soviet military hardware in this part of the world was Cuba, where a communist government led by Fidel Castro rose to power after a revolution in 1959. Since then the Cuban Air Force has operated Mikoyan fighters from the MiG-15 to the MiG-29, An-26 and Il-76MD transports, Mi-8/Mi-17 and Mi-24 helicopters, and more. Although not involved in any major wars, Cuban combat aircraft have seen a deal of action against the ships and aircraft used by the CIA in its subversive activities against Cuba. Another major customer for Soviet aircraft was Peru, which ordered An-26 and An-32 transports, MiG-29 fighters, Su-20/Su-22 fighter-bombers, Su-25 attack aircraft, Mi-8/Mi-17 and Mi-24 helicopters, putting them into service with the Air Force and the police. Peruvian Su-22s have been involved in the border conflict with neighbouring Ecuador. Soviet aircraft (notably Mi-17 and Mi-24 helicopters) have been actively used by the Sandinista regime in Nicaragua against the US-backed Contras insurgents during the civil war. More recently, Venezuela, another country noted for its anti-US stance, purchased a large batch of Su-30MKV multi-role fighters, as well as Mi-17 and Mi-26 helicopters. Other Latin American nations have ordered Russian military aircraft based on common sense and economic expediency rather than political affiliations. These include first of all Mexico, whose Air Force and Naval Aviation operate such Soviet types as the An-32B transport, Mi-2 light helicopter, Mi-8/Mi-17 medium helicopter and Mi-26 heavy helicopter.

in recent times a few of Crecy's titles have been delayed and seeing that this title is not yet listed Amazon.UK - happy to be proved otherwise

So we can see this work at Telford then. I am sure, The Aviation Bookshop will have it.

The Av Bookshop is usually the first to get most books - i've been to Tunbridge Wells many times and been pleasantly surprised to see books from listed for release on web sites fm Crecy/Haynes/P&S/Fonthill etc- already displayed for sale

A pilgrimage to Tunbridge Wells is highly recommended

Finally -amazon Uk has listed it - so its finally serious
