Scott W. Palmer. Dictatorship of the Air: Aviation Culture and the Fate of Modern Russia. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2006. I followed Scott’s advice, but as I don’t have a car or an office, I ended up with only one copy :) It looks like a worthy companion to Corn and Fritzsche, and indeed, now that it’s finally arrived (only 3 months after I ordered it, thanks Amazon.co.uk) I plan to read it alongside those standard works on national airmindedness.

Three months?! So much for the conveniences of the “air age.”
Anyway, I hope that it proves to have been worth the wait.

I think they had to grow the tree for the paper to print the book on AND mine the metal to make the cargo plane out of!
