Description

Widely regarded as the standard work on the air war over the Eastern Front during World War II, Christer Bergström’s Black Cross/Red Star series covers the history of the air war on the Eastern Front in close detail, with the perspectives of both sides. Based on a close study of German and Russian archive material, as well as interviews with a large number of the airmen who participated in this aerial conflict, it has established itself as the main source on the air war on the Eastern Front.  Black Cross/Red Star, Volume 5 covers the air war along the entire Eastern Front during the period April-July 1943 in great detail, with a balance between German and Soviet archive sources etc, and with many first-hand accounts and it also includes aircraft colour profiles.
