Kari Stenman's 'The Winter War'

[FalkeEins]

A lavishly illustrated (A4 softback) 80-page account of the Winter War 1939-1940 by Kari Stenman in the Batailles Aeriennes quarterly series published by Lela Presse with the emphasis on events as seen from the Finnish side. Given the large & disparate Russian forces involved this was the logical way to proceed - although there is no shortage of coverage of Soviet air operations.
