Hello: I apologize if this is the incorrect place to put this(if so please delete this).
I am trying to figure the developmental journey Soviet Air-to-Air Missiles took to become what we now know as the R-77. I am attempting to write a piece on the topic. Anything from manuals to recommended secondary sources would be of the greatest assistance in this research journey.
I currently possess the manuals for most late soviet aircraft, along with a Polish manual for the R-60, but past that I am without anything to delve into.
I understand that many of you are extremely knowledgeable as to aviation history and where to find information(especially to do with a topic of this breadth).
I know of, but know not how to get my hands on two secondary sources (Ред. Нестеров В.А.Основы проектирования ракет класса "Воздух-Воздух" и авиационных катапультных установок для них, and Книга «Советские авиационные ракеты воздух-воздух» - Марковский В.) If anyone has digital or physical copies I would be willing to purchase them off of you or pay you for scans of the material.
Any manuals, pieces concerning the politics of development, or anything relating to Soviet Air-to-Air combat during the latter half of the 20th century would be greatly appreciated.
