GERMAN AIRCRAFT IN RUSSIAN AND SOVIET SERVICE 1914 - 1951 TWO VOLUMES GERMAN AIRCRAFT IN RUSSIAN AND SOVIET SERVICE VOL 1 1914-1940
Book Type: C, O By Andrei Alexandrov and Genadi Petrov. These two books, illustrated with many previously unpublished photographs, depict the blooming period of the Soviet aviation industry, which owed a great deal of its knowledge to technology derived from German designs. This cooperation continued until the beginning of the 1940's. The effects of German-Soviet cooperation continued to be felt until 1951, however. The extent to which German research and development had influenced aviation worldwide first became apparent to aviation historians in the 1960's, however their research was concentrated exclusively on the period of the WWII and the immediate post-war years. In the period before and during WWI, the influence of German aviation developments was felt more in Russia and the Soviet Union than anywhere else. From the very beginning there was an interest in acquiring German know-how, which resulted in early ties with the German aviation industry. Over 250 b/w photos and color profiles. 144 pp.
