Summary:
Although Operation Barbarossa, the German invasion of Russia in June
1941, is widely perceived seen as a great land offensive, equally
important was the aerial supremacy that the Luftwaffe achieved over
the front during its early phases. Without the elimination of the
threat posed by the Soviet air force, it would have been impossible
for the army to have made the rapid advances of the summer and autumn
of 1941. This book provides a detailed account of the massive aerial
campaign fought in the skies over the Soviet Union following the
launch of Operation Barbarossa. Drawing on both Russian and German
sources, the strength of Christer Bergström's writing lies in its
detail, his ability to tell the story from the viewpoints of both
sides and to put events in both their strategic and tactical
contexts. A large number of rare and previously unpublished
photographs, biographical studies of major players, data tables,
technical assessments and appendices accompany the text. Compiled by
one of the world's leading experts on the air war over the Eastern
Front, this is the first in a series of books to cover the major
phases of World War Two in this theatre of operations.
