Red Star Against The Swastika: The Story of a Soviet Pilot over the Eastern Front

This is the extraordinary story of Vasily B. Emelianenko, the veteran pilot of one of the Soviet Unionâ€™s most contradictory planes of WWII â€“ the I1-2. This heavily armoured aircraft was practically unrivalled in terms of fire power, but it was slow to manoeuvre and an easy target for fighters. I1â€“2 had to attack enemy flak columns at extremely low altitudes, which led to enormous tolls both in equipment and personnel.
