The Red Star and the Roundel are the symbols of organizations that look back on a century of existencea period marked as much by conflict as by harmony. The Russian Red Star has retained its undiminished impact throughout the hundred years since the October Revolution; the red, white, and blue insignia of the RAF, meanwhile, has been a constant presence in the world's skies over that same span. Of the forty years the author spent in the RAF, the final three and a half were spent in Russia; this afforded him the opportunity to examine in depth the dynamics of the relationship between Russia and the RAFa relationship that manifested at times as an alliance, and at others as an adversarial rivalry. *Red Star and Roundel* draws upon the authors personal recollections, the accounts of surviving RAF veterans who were stationed in Russia during the Second World War, and official documents spanning their entire shared century. The volume explores themes ranging from brutal combat in the early years to linguistic communication barriers in later timesfrom harmless misunderstandings to deliberate deception, and from cultural contrasts to aesthetic affinities.
