This book, written by a recognised authority on the air war over the Eastern Front, provides an informed, detailed and balanced account of the massive aerial campaign fought in the skies over the Soviet Union following the launch of Operation Barbarossa. Unlike most recent histories, this account features newly discovered information from both Russian and German sources and significantly expands the authors earlier study of this campaign. There is also much unique eye-witness material, and the text will be accompanied by a large number of rare and previously unpublished photographs, biographical studies of major players in the conflict, data tables, technical assessments, and appendices.
