Fine condition.

Artem Mikoyan (1905–1970) was the legendary Soviet aircraft designer best known as co-founder of the Mikoyan-Gurevich design bureau, creator of the world-famous MiG series of fighter aircraft. Under his leadership, the bureau produced some of the most important military aircraft of the Cold War era, including the MiG-15, MiG-17, MiG-21, and numerous other jet fighters flown by Soviet and allied air forces worldwide. Documents personally signed by Mikoyan are highly desirable due to his central role in twentieth-century aviation history and the relative scarcity of his autograph material.
