General Directorate of Civil Aviation at the Council of Ministers of the USSR Instructions on Civil Aviation Engineering and Aviation Services of the USSR (1960) (NIAS G A-60) Publication of the Aeroflot Editorial Department (Moscow) 235 Pages - In Russian

The regulatory basis of all civil aviation support and maintenance processes in the Soviet Union in the 1960s. You will learn pell-mell: how to tow a plane to its hangar; how to do a fixed point motor test; who has access to the aircraft in the parking lot; how to make the material resist the rigors of the Russian winter; and how to reconcile the mysteries of bureaucracy with the demands of air operations. Also note a chapter on the hierarchy and qualifications of maintenance personnel. An interesting cocktail of technique and law, sometimes not very far from politics.
