Soviet Civil Aircraft for Export. 
Moscow: Aviaexport, [1980-?].
104 pp.: ill. Hardcover, encyclopedic format (25 x 33 cm).

This specialized 1980s publication is a high-profile marketing and technical document produced during the final decade of the Soviet Union. Likely issued by Aviaexport, the state organization responsible for the trade of aviation technology, the book was designed as a prestige volume to showcase the "wings of the USSR" to global buyers and international airline executives. The authors were a collective of Soviet aviation engineers, designers, and industry specialists working under the auspices of USSR state institutions. The book was prepared during a period of active entry of the Soviet aviation industry into the international market and reflects the official viewpoint on the export potential and technical achievements of Soviet aircraft manufacturing.
The volume provides an exhaustive look at the legendary aircraft of the era, including the Tupolev (Tu-134, Tu-154), Ilyushin (Il-62, Il-76, Il-86), and Yakovlev (Yak-40, Yak-42) families, as well as the robust Antonov cargo planes and Mil and Kamov helicopters. The encyclopedic format allows for large-scale, high-quality color photography and detailed technical specifications, highlighting the reliability, fuel efficiency, and adaptability of Soviet aircraft to extreme climatic conditions—a major selling point for export to Africa, Asia, and the Middle East.
Beyond mere statistics, the book emphasizes the comfort of passenger cabins and the sophistication of Soviet avionics and safety systems. It serves as a historical snapshot of the Soviet aviation industry at its zenith, just before the geopolitical shifts of the late 1980s. For aviation historians, engineers, and collectors of Soviet industrial ephemera, this English-language edition is a vital primary source, documenting the technological pride of the USSR on the world stage.
