5.0 out of 5 stars Book Description, June 13, 2008
By 
American, British, German, and Russian experts pool their respective knowledge to provide the first comprehensive, authoritative evaluation of Russian strength in the air at the time of printing. Every aspect of Russian thought and experience regarding the Soviet Air and Rocket Forces is examined in this book, ranging from the daily life and training of a Soviet airman to the political control of the Soviet Air Force; from the past history of Soviet air arms to a projection of their future.

Here George Schatunowski, himself a former Soviet officer, describes the development of the Soviet Air Force from the Russian Revolution to 1941. Hanson Baldwin, military editor New York Times, and General Walter Schwabedissen, a Luftwaffe commander who fought against Russia, discuss the Soviet air performance in WW2.

Asher Lee, an internationally recognized British expert on military aviation, served in the Air Intelligence Staff of the R.A.F. during WWII and as chief intelligence officer to the First Allied Airborne Army. His previous books include Air Power, The German Air Force, and The Soviet Air Force.

Other contributors include: Air Chief Marshal Sir Philip Joubert; Dr. Raymond L. Garthoff, J. M. Mackintosh, Richard E. Stockwell, Dr. Kenneth Whiting.

......This text applies to the 1st edition published by Praeger in 1959.
