Red Star Against The Swastika Book Description
This is the extraordinary story of Vasily B. Emelianenko, the veteran pilot of one of the Soviet Unions most contradictory planes of WWII the I1-2. This heavily armoured aircraft was practically unrivalled in terms of fire power, but it was slow to manoeuvre and an easy target for fighters. I12 had to attack enemy flak columns at extremely low altitudes, which led to enormous tolls both in equipment and personnel.
