Black Cross Red Star Volume 5 is herer!
 

Black Cross Red Star Volume 5 is here!

If you are interested in learning all the details and many personal accounts by the veterans about the legendary Air Battle over Kuban and the air war during the Battle of Kursk in 1943, this is the book for you! These aerial conflicts are studied in great detail, with a balance between German and Soviet sources, many first-hand accounts, and presented with the true loss figures of both sides, day by day.

* 384 pages

* Hardcover

* Large size (A4)

* Over 300 photographs, many from pilot veterans’ private photo albums and which have never been published before.

* Excellent printing quality on high-quality paper.

* Very clear maps: Most of the places mentioned in the book are on the maps.

* Aircraft color profiles by Jim Laurier in large size (filling whole pages).

* Photos of most of the aircraft that are featured on the inside of the dustjacket.

* Appendices.



The printer has made an excellent work – the photos are even better than in Volume 5. I was very happy with Volume 4, but I am even happier with Volume 5.

I've always believed you can always tell the book by the cover. The D/W on these are superb. Well thought out and crafted.
You just know these books are the business.
Can't wait.....
