"Black Cross / Red Star, Volume 3 covers the air war along the entire Eastern Front during the period June-November 1942 in great detail, with a balance between German and Soviet archive sources etc, and with many first-hand accounts. This edition contains more than twice the word count of the old, 2006 edition, and with a vast amount of new facts based on fresh research.

The author has studied the air war over the Eastern Front for several decades. This work is based on primary sources from both sides and interviews conducted by the author with a large number of veterans from both sides."
