It must have been the cover that sold me on this book, because it wasn't my usual cup of tea. I was still an Agatha Christie mystery reader for the most part, back then.But I loved this book. Back when the US was still in the Cold War with the USSR, the idea that Russia had an aircraft so far superior to anything we had or could possibly conceive of, and could blast any plane we had out of the sky... was a scary and realistic thought. The idea to sneak a pilot into the Russia base, and steal the aircraft by flying it back to the US, was written very suspensfully. That the one and only pilot the USould find who had the capability to fly this jet fighter, was also on the verge of a mental breakdown, only added to the thiller.I didn't think the movie did the book justice.
