This latest ‘Red Star’ volume is typical of what the series does best. Here is a detailed survey of the jet powered flying boats produced by the Beriev design bureau. Established as long ago as the 1930s, Beriev is one of the less well known of the Soviet design bureaux. The organisation is still active as an aircraft design and manufacturing business today. Its particular forte lay in the development of flying boats. Whilst these have been powered by both piston and jet engines, this book focuses on those jet-engined aircraft produced from the late 1960s onwards. These include the Be-30, Be-32, BE-43, Be-103 and Be-200. These aircraft were intended for a wide variety of uses, including passenger transport and maritime rescue operations.
