In May 1939, disputes over the border between Outer Mongolia and Manchuria flared into a major conflict pitting Russia against Japan. Along with ground action, the so-called 'Nomonhan Incident' or 'Khalkin Gol Fighting' ultimately witnessed massive use of airpower by both sides. Published in 2010, Vladimir Kotelnikov's AIR WAR OVER KHALKHIN GOL, THE NOMONHAN INCIDENT is a comprehensive, lavishly-illustrated guide to the largely unknown air fighting that raged between May and September 1939. After providing the background to the Nomonhan fighting, Kotelnikov relates the force build-up, initial air clashes and the missions flown by Russian and Japanese units. More and more units were fed into the conflict, resulting in frequent and massive air battles between I-15s, I-153s, I-16s and Ki-27s.
