Seeing all the postings re mil. ref. books, I am reminded of a recent
article in the New York Times, which said that the Soviets are
contributing (for a fee) to the next crop of military reference books.
The implication is that more or better information will soon be coming
out, especially about aircraft (one commentator said this goes along
with their desire to sell the aircraft abroad) and tanks.  Also, many
new photos, especially of Soviet aircraft in flight, will soon be
released.  (One publisher came right out & said it was because he was
paying the Soviets in foreign currency, wouldn't say how much...).
