ANTONOV An-12: Red Star 33

Back in the 1950s plans were made to modernise and expand the Soviet AF's military airlift capability. With its origins in the twin-engined An-8 and the An-10 medium-haul airliner, the four-turboprop An-12 was the Soviet equivalent of the Lockheed C-130. Built in large numbers and filling a multitude of roles, each known version is covered here, with numerous photos of the type's many operators - both military and civil. 153 b/w & 145 colour photos. Line drawings. 144 pages. Softback
