Tupolev was born in 1888 and developed an early interest in aeronautics, building gliders by the time he reached his early twenties.
Tupolev resisted the idea of copying since he believed that one of his own designs, the Samolet 64, would be a better option.

Tupolev, the principal figure in the early development of Soviet aviation and a leading aircraft designer, was led away to immediate imprisonment.
Tupolev and his design team were imprisoned, along with the Petlyakov and Myasischev design teams, in the buildings Tupolev had worked in prior to his arrest—later to become the Tupolev Design Bureau.
Kerber recounts Tupolev’s central role in Soviet aviation before and after his imprisonment, beginning with his effort to establish the Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute (TsAGI)—the Soviet Union’s leading aviation research and development center—his prescient advocacy of the transition from wood to metal aircraft construction, and his leadership in the advancement of Soviet bomber and transport aviation.

 Made in the U.S.S.R.
Tupolev's return to favor also signalled the decline of his chief rival, Alexander Yakovlev, along with those tied to the expansion of Soviet tactical aviation during the war years.
Tupolev opted to vary the thickness of the Tu-4's skin between.8 and 1.8 millimeters, which actually had the effect of strengthening the aircraft's structure in some areas.
While Tupolev remained attentive to certain external cosmetic flourishes to suggest strict compliance with Stalin's order for an exact copy (a repair patch in the fuselage was included and the interior paint scheme duplicated exactly), he often went his own way on the more critical, less obvious components.

Tupolev is also the constructor of most of Russia's commercial jets and the book is therefore useful for anyone interested in civil aviation.

 Tupolev, Andrei (1888-1972)
Since 1922, the design bureau which he founded and that now bears his name has built more than 100 different military and civilian aircraft, including the workhorse of the Aeroflot fleet, the Tu-154.
In one of the more bizarre stories of the Great Purges, Stalin had the entire Tupolev design bureau arrested as “enemies of the people” in 1938.
Nothing changed in their work, except that they were now all prisoners in the Gulag and that Tupolev’s name was not mentioned in public until his release in 1943.
