I am getting tired of this. If this is a reprint then label it as such. Otherwise, I will avoid listing Helion titles in future.

If you click on Mars link you will find "your" book is a new one while "Mars book" is an old
one, reprinted!
Helion states that very clearly, if you just look

Cheers

As the author, well-known Russian aviation historian Vladimir Kotelnikov perished on 8 August 2022, the book is most certainly a reprint of his one-volume history of Lend-lease aircraft in USSR.

I am certainly saddened to learn of the passing of Mr. Kotelnikov.

The publication of his 2017 book Lend-Lease and Soviet Aviation in the Second World War by Helion was a revelation to me. I was fascinated and enlightened by every page and photo. It was certainly the best aviation history that I read that year.

I hope that Vladimir Kotelnikov's publications continue to find new readers who will appreciate his superb research & writing.

"Vladimir Kotelnikov was born in Moscow on 9 December 1951. He graduated from the Moscow Aviation Institute (University) in 1975 and was engaged in research and development in the area of high-temperature strength. Vladimir defended the academic degree of the Candidate of Science in 1981 and read lectures on aircraft piston engine design at the Moscow Aviation Institute.Since the 1980s Kotelnikov has conducted archive research on the history of Russian aviation of the inter-war and Second World War periods. In addition, he paid specific attention to the history of foreign aircraft testing and operations in Russia. As the result of his work he published several hundred articles and dozens of books in Russia, Ukraine, Poland, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Spain, and the United States, among them Lend-Lease and Soviet Aviation, Americans in Russia, Russian Piston Aero Engines, Early Russian Jet Engines, Air War Over Khalkhin Gol, Le Petlyakov Pe-2 and others. Being an aviation historian, he received a diploma as a professor of the Academy of Aviation and Aeronautics Science and currently acts as a consultant on piston aero engine design to Russian aviation museums as well as to different aircraft restoration groups. From 2003 Vladimir held the post of an editor of the Aviakollektsiya aviation history journal, published in Moscow. Sadly, he passed away in 2022."
