I was so blown away by this book I had to meet Viktor in person and now count him as a personal friend. The book is factual in every respect and is difficult to put down once started. John Barron is an excellent author and did a first class job of writing Viktor's story. In addition to an exciting escape story it reveals why the Soviet Union had to collapse of its own ineptitude, deceit, and corruption. It details humorous incidents such as army pilots' mess-hall riots due to bad food. Mig Pilot is also a biography of an exceptional man whose intelligence saw through a lifetime of brainwashing. The story is humorous in places and engrossing from beginning to end. It starts right out with Viktor's desperate and harrowing escape flight to freedom in his top-secret Mig-25 Foxbat, then in subsequent chapters details the life events that led to his courageous decision to "go for broke" and make his live-or-die dash to freedom. It illustrates how America probably could have given the Soviets all of its top secrets and they would have found a way to screw up making use of them.Viktor is not only a first class pilot, he is also a true hero. Don't lend this book to anyone and expect to get it back. Paperback, Label: Avon Books (Mm), Avon Books (Mm), Produktgruppe: Book, Publiziert: 1983-10, Studio: Avon Books (Mm), Verkaufsrang: 411479.

DJ has some wear, soiling and small chips to DJ edges. John Daniel Barron (1930-2005) was an American journalist and investigative writer. He is best remembered as the author of several books dealing with specifics of Soviet espionage via the KGB and other agencies. In 1957, he joined the Washington Star as an investigative reporter. In 1965, Barron joined the Washington bureau of Reader's Digest. There he wrote more than 100 stories on a wide variety of subjects-notably a 1980 story concerning unanswered questions surrounding the drowning death of Mary Jo Kopechne at Chappaquiddick in a car driven by Ted Kennedy. MiG Pilot: The Final Escape of Lieutenant Belenko is a 1980 biography by John Barron about the life and 1976 defection of Soviet Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-25 fighter pilot Viktor Belenko to the United States. The MiG-25 was, at the time, Russia's most advanced and most secret fighter plane. Viktor Ivanovich Belenko (born 15 February 1947) is a former Soviet pilot who defected to the West while flying his MiG-25 'Foxbat' jet fighter and landed in Hakodate, Japan. George H. W. Bush, the Director of Central Intelligence at the time, called the opportunity to examine the plane up close an "intelligence bonanza" for the West. Belenko later became a U.S. aerospace engineer. Derived from a Kirkus review: In September 1976, Lt. Viktor Belenko, a pilot in the Soviet Air Defense Command, flew his highly classified MiG 25 to Japan and asked for asylum. His defection was a great coup for the U.S., which had long wanted to learn the strengths and weaknesses of the closely guarded jet; and Belenko was brought to America and rewarded with a comfortable income for life. Belenko's story also had the makings of a propaganda coup. The "Final Escape" in the title refers to the moment when Belenko, homesick, almost returns to his native land--but he doesn't.
