off condition. (Yefim Gordon)

Back Cover, Top Left: A Tu-95RTs over-the-horizon targeting/maritime reconnaissance aircraft (izdeliye VTs, NATO reporting

name Bear-D) is seen here in high-altitude cruise. This view emphasizes the Bear's large wing area. (Yefim Gordon Archive)

Back Cover, Bottom: A view of 95 Red, an operational North Fleet Tu-142MK operated by the 76th OPLAP DD (Independent
