Looks like they've done the same as for the previous title.

Taken a large book (448 pages) and broken it down into 4 volumes.

[Carl-Fredrik Geust]

The author has really performed a surprising piece of verbal coreography, as he succeeded almost completely to avoid to mention the Soviet-Finnish Winter War 1939-1940 - which seriously speaking had enormous impact on the subsequent development of Soviet military aviation.
See eg. my own book Red Wings in the Winter War (MMP-Stratus, 2020), in Russian VVS RKKA na finskoj vojne, 2017.

"This book describes the operations of the Soviet air force along the Finnish-Soviet front during the Winter War of 1939-1940. The Winter War began with the Soviet invasion of Finland on 30 November 1939, three months after the outbreak of World War II, and ended three and a half months later with the Moscow Peace Treaty on 13 March 1940. The League of Nations deemed the attack illegal and expelled the Soviet Union from the organisation. The book includes over 350 photographs, most of which have never published before, 28 specially commissioned colour profiles and 5 maps. This is a must-have book for any student of Soviet aviation history."

IPMS/USA Review
"I was extremely impressed with this volume’s coverage of the three and a half month’s operations during the Winter War. There is a lot of detail on organizational structures and operations, but this is not a tedious read. The combat chronicles are quite interesting and the inclusion of first person accounts, grab your attention. The 512 captioned photographs that are included throughout just add to it. Carl-Fredrik Geust presents a tremendous amount of research to bear, integrating both sides of the battle."
