Soviet bombers played a vital role in defeating the Germans on the Eastern Front, yet their contribution is often forgotten. This graphic memoir should help to set the record straight. The author, a leading Soviet bomber pilot who flew throughout the conflict, tells his story from the desperate days of the German assault in 1941 to the point where Germany was invaded and the Nazis were destroyed. He gives a vivid account of his experiences during over 300 bombing missions in the dangerous skies over Russia, the Ukraine, Poland and Germany. His story is compelling reading.

Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : fine. First edition. First printing. A fine, fresh unread, as-new copy in equally fine dust jacket. Hardcover. 212 pp. with glossary, index. Illustrated with photos. A title in the publisher's Red Air Force at War series, a biographical account of the World War II years of Vasily Reshetnikov, whose service began as a commander of a heavy Soviet bomber in the autumn of 1941. Here he recalls his early missions--perilous daytime raids, being shot down, bailing out, forced landings, the deaths of his comrades. These wer the desperate months when the formidable Soviet bomber force suffered catastrophic losses in daylight raids without fighter escort. Later in the war, he took part in long-range nighttime operations, often in near-impossible weather conditions and always at the mercy of German flak and fighter attack. N° de réf. du vendeur E34279
