144 pages. Illustrations (some in color). Tabular Data. Appendices. Index. Front cover has a small cut at bottom of the front cover. Dmitriy Khazanov, who was born in 1954, is a military historian and a Russian aviation historian. He graduated from Moscow Institute of Electronics and Mathematics in 1977, attaining his Candidate of Technical Sciences Ph.D. qualification in 1989. He has written about 60 books or monographs, and more than 200 articles, including those that have been translated into English, French, Japanese, Spanish, Polish, and Czech. The principal subjects of his research are: aviation in the battle for Moscow, the battle of the Kursk Salient and the Air Force, German aces on the Eastern Front, the Air Force's air combat operations in the second half of 1941, and the story behind the development of Yakovlev and Lavochkin fighters and their performance in combat, as well as MiG-3 fighter, Su-2, Pe-2, and Er-2 bombers. He has analyzed air operations in the battle for Stalingrad, in the Spanish Civil War, and in Operation Bagration (the liberation of Belorussia in the summer of 1944). All these works are written on the basis of Soviet and German archive documents using the testimonies of those who actually participated in these events. Dmitriy Khazanov has prepared historical exhibits and has provided consultation services and given interviews for films on military history and the history of aviation, and done screenwriting. He has worked at the Russian State Military Archive (RGVA), and the Central Archive of the Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation (TsAMO RF). The first of the new and exciting series of publications focused on significant air campaigns throughout the history of Aviation. The German 'Kursk' offensive, or 'Operation Zitadelle,' was launched on 4 July 1943; however a resolute Soviet defense ensured that the Germans failed to make their planned breakthrough and after three weeks defense was turned to assault as two counter-attacks saw the Red Army seize the initiative and ultimately force the Germans to retreat. During this period of time whilst the fierce battle raged on the ground, literally, thousands of aircraft were pitted against each other in the skies above Kursk, and in this superb new book author Dmitriy Khazanov looks in intricate detail at this momentous air conflict, bringing together a complete and utterly compelling account of the aerial battles, the aircraft involved and their pilots. He also documents both the both Soviet and German combat strengths and losses, charts the combat sorties, and looks in depth at how this bloody campaign unfolded. This new book contains many hitherto unpublished photographs and historical references along with concise informed text, all supported by over seventy high quality, full-color profiles which show each type of aircraft employed and their camouflage and markings. For the enthusiast, historian and modeler, this will be the ultimate reference work and one that will become the acknowledged source book on the subject. Presumed First Edition, First Printing thus.…
