IPMS/USA Review – Curtiss Kittyhawk’s in the Soviet Far North, 1941-1945 – Volume 2: Reconnaissance, Ground Support and Final Missions, 1944-1945

Casemate Publishing is distributing the 51 installment of the “Europe At War” series. This book is devoted to the P-40 aircraft in the Soviet Far North (Murmansk to Kirkenes area) while in service with the Soviet Navy Aviation.

Finding details of western aircraft while in service with the Soviets is hard to come by. This book – together with the rest of the series devoted to the Kittyhawks in Soviet service- fills in a gap in historical documentation.

The author utilizes both Soviet sources and German sources and combine them to provide a comprehensive and well-balanced narrative of the events during 1944 in northern Scandinavia. By that year, the Kittyhawks in Soviet Service were being used in a fighter-bomber role rather than air-to-air, as covered in Volume 1.
