A volume from the Europe @ War series. The booklet continues the story of the P-40 Kittyhawk aircraft in the Soviet Arctic, focussing on their operations from mid-1944 to the end of the war. As the conflict intensified, these versatile aircraft were tasked with reconnaissance missions, ground support and vital defence operations in the unforgiving northern environment. This volume examines the adaptability and lasting impact of the Kittyhawks through detailed operational reports and personal narratives. It also analyses their legacy within Soviet aviation and shows how these aircraft contributed to the eventual Soviet victory on the Eastern Front. With its wealth of previously unpublished sources and vivid historical detail, this final volume will captivate aviation enthusiasts, modellers, historians and anyone interested in the role of Allied aircraft in Soviet service during the Second World War.
