A fabulous flier in Africa, Russia, etc. (6)
I believe the answer is:
icarus
'a fabulous flier' is the definition.
'icarus' can be an answer for 'flier' (I have seen 'Foolhardy flier ' mean 'icarus' so perhaps 'flier' could also mean 'icarus'). I am unsure of the 'a fabulous' bit.
'in africa russia etc' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'ICARUS' is hidden in the letters of 'africa russia etc'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for icarus that I've seen before include "In Greek myth, he flew tooclose to the sun" , "His wings melted when he flew too near the sun" , "Daedalus's son" , "he drowned" , "One whose wings melted" .)
