Jane's At the Controls is a new series providing a 'hands-on' briefing of what it is like to fly and fight in modern combat aircraft. The MiG-29 was introduced by the Soviet air-force just as the Warsaw Pact began to break up. Armed with a new generation of air-to-air missiles and capable of astonishing maneuvers that can give it to the edge against most modern interceptors, the MiG-29 remains one of the best fighter aircraft in the world today.

This book thoroughly and entertainingly tells the stories of hundreds of these words and the circumstances that brought them into our language.
