The Supermarine Spitfire was indeed a remarkable aircraft. It was already a legend in the making when the first Mk I machines began to roll off the assembly lines. The Spitfire was one of the classic British fighters in which the famous few bravely faced the mighty Luftwaffe. Although the Messerschmitt Bf 109 was considered superior in certain areas of flight performance, it was the Spitfire that eventually prevailed and helped crush the numerically superior enemy. In this book the reader will find clearly marked areas of skin sections where flush riveting was used. The Spitfire Mk. IXs, as well as other models of the fighter, were often assembled using a variety of parts, including those originally designed for earlier versions of the fighter.

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.

The German 'Kursk' offensive, or 'Operation Zitadelle,' was launched on 4 July 1943; however a resolute Soviet defense ensured that the Germans failed to make their planned breakthrough and after three weeks defense was turned to assault as two counter-attacks saw the Red Army seize the initiative and ultimately force the Germans to retreat. During this period of time whilst the fierce battle raged on the ground, literally, thousands of aircraft were pitted against each other in the skies above Kursk, and in this superb new book author Dmitriy Khazanov looks in intricate detail at this momentous air conflict, bringing together a complete and utterly compelling account of the aerial battles, the aircraft involved and their pilots.
