BLACK CROSS, RED STAR - AIR WAR OVER THE EASTERN FRONT: VOL 5

by Christer Bergstrom
 






This volume of Black Cross Red Star is the direct continuation of Volume 4 in the series. It deals with two of the largest air battles in history, over the Kuban Bridgehead in the spring of 1943, and during the Battle of Kursk in July 1943. These are studied in great detail, with a balance between German and Soviet sources, many first-hand accounts, and presented with the true day by-day loss figures on both sides. The work is based on primary sources and interviews with a large number of veterans from both sides. It includes Aircraft color profiles by Jim Laurier, more than 300 photographs, many from veterans’ private photo albums which have never been published before, plus a selection of clear maps.

New in d/w - large format, 384pp, 300+ b/w
photos, 14 colour profiles, 8 maps

THE STRONGEST LINK

by Richard C. Smith







A Pictorial History of Biggin Hill Aerodrome through Two World Wars and Beyond. It was established during the latter part of the First World War, when the Royal Flying Corps defended the skies in basic wood and fabric aeroplanes, then afterwards the aerodrome was built up during the 1920s and 1930s, seeing advances in technology and aircraft. During the five years of the Second World War Biggin Hill played a significant role during the Dunkirk evacuation, the Battle of Britain and the fight back across the Channel, finally helping to bring freedom to occupied Europe. Post-war saw the arrival of the jet age and the RAF Aircrew Selection Centre which was based there. Annual air shows became the norm during the 1950s and still continue today.

HITLER'S SPANISH DIVISION

by Pablo Sagarra & Oscar Gonzalez





On 22 June 1941, Hitler’s armies launched Operation Barbarossa and swept in to the Soviet Union. On the same day, the Spanish Foreign Minister, Ramon Serrano Suner, contacted the German embassy in Madrid with an extraordinary proposal − would the German government welcome the addition of a force of Spanish volunteers in the war against the Russians? Officially designated by the Wehrmacht as the 250th Infantry Division, but commonly referred to as the Azul or Blue Division after the colour of Spain’s Falangist (Fascist) Party, this force initially amounted to some 18,000 volunteers under the command of the fiercely anti-communist General Agustin Munoz-Grandes. By the time that the Blue Division returned home, 47,000 Spaniards had been involved in fighting on the Russian front.

OSPREY AIRCRAFT OF THE ACES 4: KOREAN WAR ACES

by Robert F. Dorr, Jon Lake & Warren Thompson.






The first virtually all-jet war, the conflict in Korea saw F-86 Sabres of the USAF take on MiG-15s of the North Korean and Chinese air forces. Although the Allied pilots were initially taken aback by the ability of the communist fighter in combat, sound training and skilful leadership soon enabled Sabre pilots to dominate the dogfights. Thirty nine F-86 pilots achieved ace status, and a number of these are profiled in this volume, as are notable pilots from the US Navy, Marine Corps and Royal Navy and, for the first time, the handful of MiG-15 aces.
