The book is about the first day of the air war in the east - June 22, 1941. The Nazi Luftwaffe led to the rout of the border of the Air Force RKKA. Stalin had set his "red hawks" in airfields, next to the western border of the USSR, from May 1941.

Their hysterical reinforcing patches of quick raids Hitler's panzer divisions.

As a result of rapid breaking the chain of command communication a lot of panic seized the Soviet border. To the complete disappearance above the Russians heads their "hawks" caused a gigantic, chaotic and hasty escape on the ground, away from the deadly Luftwaffe bombs. It multiplied the small successes of the Germans.

Rapid loss by the Russians own air shield, the first day of battles, led to a massive pogrom troops at borders. In many places, there was a mass defection from the front. German giant success later completed the liquidation of large encirclements, among others, near Bialystok, Minsk, Smolensk, Kiev, Wiazma, Briansk was crowned the winner June 22, 1941.

About how Germans quickly won the battle in the air that day, says book.
