| Summary: | "The book provides a uniquely granular account of this crisis. Timin traces the reorganisation of fighter, bomber and reconnaissance units; the expansion of training programmes; the construction of new airfields and concrete runways; and the relentless series of accidents, mechanical failures, and operational shortcomings that plagued Soviet aviation in the first half of 1941. Particularly revealing is the detailed treatment of the MiG-3 fighter programme, whose technical unreliability and difficult handling characteristics severely disrupted combat training in some of the Soviet Union's most important frontline fighter regiments." |
