Book Description
Evgeniy Mariinskiy, a Soviet fighter ace and Hero of the Soviet Union, shot down 20 enemy planes in aerial combat over the Eastern Front between 1943 and 1945. He frequently engaged enemy fighters and bombers, shot down many but was himself shot down several times.
This is his extraordinary story. His vivid inside view of the ruthless war in the air on the Eastern Front gives a rare insight into the reality of fighting and tactics of the Red Army Air Force. In his own words, and with a remarkable clarity of recall, Evgeniy Mariinskiy describes what combat was like in the air, face to face with a skilled, deadly and increasingly desperate enemy. The reader can follow his career from an unskilled novice who has just arrived at his regiment through to him becoming an ace, and Hero of the Soviet Union, under the leadership of experienced commanders.
The terrifying moments of action, engagements with enemy fighters, forced landings, nervous strain before attacks, loss of comrades and everyday life of pilots - all these aspects of a Soviet fighter pilot's experience during the Great Patriotic War are brought dramatically to life in his memoirs. In his memoirs Mariinskiy describes tactics which enabled him to have an upper hand in dogfights against experienced German pilots. The grand strategy of the campaigns across the Eastern Front is less important here than the sequence of engagements that were the firsthand experience of the author. It is this close-up view of combat that makes Evgeniy Mariinskiy's reminiscences of such value.
Key sales points: A gripping and superbly readable memoir of the war in the air over the Eastern Front 1943-45, penned by a Hero of the Soviet Union and air ace credited with 20 victories / Covers the author's full aviation career including training and his initial experiences over the front, as well as his increasingly successful combat with a skilled enemy / Evgeniy Mariinskiy served with the 129th Guards Fighter Regiment 1943-45, undertaking 210 sorties, participating in 60 air-to-air engagements and shooting down 20 enemy aircraft. In 1945 he was awarded the Gold Star of Hero of the Soviet Union.

Good book, horrible editing.......2007-01-20
The book is more or less a typical memoir from the Eastern Front. I read it in one day and enjoyed it for the most part. Unlike another memoir which I read by a pilot, the losses that Mariinskiy's regiment suffered were not at all as bad as they could have been. He definitely served in one of the better formations and had one of the highest scoring aces, Gulayev, flying in the same regiment. Now, the real reason I give this book 4 stars is because of the horrible editing job. Mistakes are quite numerous! On one page you will read about the 29th Guards Fighter Regiment, on another the same regiment is now the 129th. Gulayev is spelled at times as Gulaev. Sandomir is spelled as Samdomir. And so on and so forth, it becomes quite annoying and definitely takes away from the pleasure of reading this book! The translation is also rudimentary at times, it could have been a much better read if time was taken to correct these two problems. Otherwise some of the stories are very interesting although from time to time I found it hard to believe the numbers the author quotes, both those planes he and his squadron encountered and those planes that were shot down, although you never know. Suffice it to say, if you can get by with the lousy editing and crude translation, you might just enjoy this book.
His first-hand experiences and accounts of battle engagements provide enlightening details.......2006-11-07
Evgeniy Mariinskiy's RED STAR AIRACOBRA: MEMOIRS OF A SOVIET FIGHTER ACE 1941-45 tells of a Soviet air fighter ace and hero who shot down twenty enemy plains during world War II - and was himself shot down not once, but several times. His memoir provides an soldier's eye view of the Eastern Front, surveying the fighting forces and tactics of the Red Army and providing a 'you are there' set of battle experiences. His first-hand experiences and accounts of battle engagements provide enlightening details on what it meant to participate in Soviet battle.

Book Description
Manfred von Richthofen - the Red Baron - was the most celebrated fighter pilot of the First World War, and was holder of the Blue Max, Pour le M,rite, Germany's highest military decoration. He was credited with 80 victories in the air, before being shot down in disputed circumstances aged 26. In this autobiography Richthofen tells not only his own story but also that of his contemporaries, their duels in the sky, ever present danger, fame, honor and spiraling death.

What a maniac.......2007-09-26
I wonder if some of the fatherland stuff was added by one of the Kaiser's goons. This guy is a wild boar hunting nutcase. A great book if you wonder why Germany keeps starting wars.
In the cockpit, sharing the adventure.......2007-07-24
This is a fantastic autobiography, because Von Richthofen was an amazing person. Very real (he devotes as much attention to his cousin and him climbing the spire of the local church, as he does to some of his aerial battles), full of good-natured humor and a zest for life. I particularly loved how the early fighter pilots were known as "Knights of the Sky", and kept to the chivalric code, including following downed pilots to ensure that they were all right.

Red Baron by Manfred Von Richthofen.......2007-01-17
The book is great.... However, one would think that the printer would check the spelling of his last name on the front cover.... It's "Richthofen" and NOT "Richtofen" as printed.... Will the printer replace the book???

Good to excellent.......2006-12-02
An autobiography on the Red Baron up until he was killed in action, First chapter in the book dispells any myths about "he only shot down lesser performing aircraft - reality only 36 kills out of 80" etc, Manfred gives details of his and his family background his initial military career as a calvary officer and the opening stages of the war which then follows onto his aviation career until he was killed.
Book Description
The daring air aces of World War I faced more than the enemy when they took to the sky—they faced the odds. Their chances of being hit were high; the odds of their hitting the enemy were low. One pilot, French Captain Albert Moris, reported 400 hits to his aircraft in his 253 hours of flying, more than a hit per hour.
Even the most maneuverable of the British fighters, the Sopwith Camel, lost as many machines as its pilots shot down. Pilots flying Camels rang up 1,294 victories, but 1,500 machines were lost to accidents and enemy fire, and many Camel pilots died within weeks of entering combat.
Was it luck or skill that sustained the Red Baron, the German ace who flew, fought, and thrived until he was finally shot down in April 1918? Gunning for the Red Baron gives the lowdown on why it was so hard to score a hit, what qualities helped the aces succeed, and the weapons and planes that were celebrated in the "air war to end wars." Most basically, this richly illustrated book explains why aim was so notoriously bad.

A Very Technical Analysis of WWI Air Combat!.......2006-11-27
Anyone interested in a detailed, technical analysis of the mechanics of World War I air warfare will want to peruse this book from Texas A&M University Press. Loaded with endless charts and graphs along with period and contemporary photos, the book examines aircrew, weapons, gunsights, aircraft, engines and tactics related to the science of shooting down airplanes in WWI. It will probably delight the nuts-and-bolts crowd; others will find it a tough slog.
To give him his due, Bennett did a wonderful job of research, uncovering rare and informative documents. He also created many, useful illustrations for the book.
As interested as I am in air warfare however, I still found the presentation of all that technical information too much of a good thing. I got through the book but have to admit I skimmed through some sections.
Too much theory, not enough action for my taste.
Another Unique study of WWI air Warfare by Bennett.......2006-08-31
Those of you that have read Leon Bennett's "Three Wings for the Red Baron" already are aware of his excellent abilities to analyze early air combat in new and informative ways. A master of the technological implications of design, which is no surprise since he is an aeronautical engineer, Bennett offers fresh ideas and some really amazing insights into a field that is dominated primarily by uninterpreted data and anecdotal explanations.
If you are a WWI air combat buff-this and the "THree Wings..." titles are a very necessary addition to your library.
Book Description
Aviation historians often dismiss the Polyikarpov I-16 because it did not fare well against its more modern adversaries in WWII. It was often referred to in the West by the disparaging nickname of Rata, the Russian word for rat! Nikolay Polyikarpov's I-16 was nevertheless an outstanding fighter in its day--among other things, because it was the world's first monoplane fighter with a retractable undercarriage. Its capabilities were demonstrated effectively during the Spanish Civil War and it was still in front line service when the German armed forces fell on the Soviet Union in 1941. This book details every variant of this diminutive fighter, including development aircraft and unbuilt projects. An account is also given of Polyikarpov's early monoplane fighters that presaged the I-16 and of the later designs that evolved from it. Details are given of all surviving examples including the six aircraft that were restored to airworthy condition in Russia in the 1990s.

Red Star Rising - the Polikarpov I-16 - World-Beater That Hung On Too Long.......2007-01-11
Polikarpov's I-16 Fighter - It's Forerunners and Progeny
Red Star Volume 3
By Yefim Gordon and Keith Dexter
© 2001 Midlands Press and Specialty Press
Reviewed by Ned Barnett
This book initially came out in 2001 - and it was a great addition to the literature at that time. However, since 2001, restored I-16s are once again flying, stirring a new level of interest in these remarkable transitional-era fighter aircraft. Beyond that, Eduard, Trumpeter and a half-dozen other kit manufacturers have issued great new kits of the I-16 and its immediate predecessors, the I-15 and I-153 biplane fighters. That influx of new Soviet fighter kits makes this book well worth another look - if you don't have it, and if you're planning to build one of these great kits (I plan to build five of them), this book is an absolute godsend.
It's 126 pages long - 20 of those pages are side-view line drawings and side-view color plates - lots and lots of color plates, illustrating just how many color schemes are available to modelers.
Mostly, however, this book is chock-full of detailed photos - lots and lots of photos - along with enough text to help you make sense of both the photos and the almost-bewildering number of models of I-16s that were manufactured.
Why does this matter? At the time of it's entry into service, the I-16 was perhaps the most advanced fighter aircraft in the world - it did in the early 1930s what the MiG-15 did in the early 1950s - it catapulted Soviet fighter aircraft into the forefront of world development. Initially built with an enclosed cockpit, the I-16 was among the first operational cantilever monoplane fighters with retractable landing gear. The I-16 also carried more than the then-standard two rifle-caliber machine guns. With streamlining, strength and raw power, the I-16 set the standard for all the fighters that followed, right on through to the beginning of the jet age.
The I-16 was a dominant fighter for most of the Spanish Civil War - while early Messerschmitt Bf-109s came in late in the war and offered some performance advantages over the I-16, pilot skill was often the margin between success and failure. Later, in the far-eastern border clash between Imperial Japanese forces based in the puppet state of Manchukuo (occupied Manchuria) and Soviet armed forces based in Mongolia - the Khalkhin Gol "incident" - the I-16 proved more than a match for the supremely maneuverable Nakajima Ki-27 fighter.
However, by 1941, the I-16 was long past its prime - but for a variety of reasons, the Soviets didn't have enough of the next- replacement aircraft in squadron service, and the now-obsolete I-16 had to soldier on. Many brave Soviet pilots died in 1941 and 1942 - and in some cases, into the early months of 1943 - for the "crime" of being assigned to front-line fighter planes that should have been relegated to ground attack or advanced-training duties. In spite of the I-16's antique-status, more than a few exceptional pilots actually racked-up impressive success rates while flying these museum-piece fighters. These include Red Banner Baltic Fleet Lieutenant Senior Grade G. Tsokolayev, Lieutenant Senior Grade G. G. Guryakov, five-victory ace Lt. Krichevskiy, another well-known ace - Boris F. Safonov - and Hero of the Soviet Union Vasiliy Golubev.
The long and the short of the I-16 is this: In it's prime, this aircraft was the best in the world at what it did; and even though it was used long after it should have been retired, in the hands of a skilled pilot, the plane could still hold it's own in combat with the vaunted German Luftwaffe.
This book - Polikarpov's I-16 Fighter - captures the essence of this remarkable aircraft. The narrative text tells the story if it's creation, development and combat career. The illustrations will appeal to aircraft history/technology buffs and modelers alike. Strongly recommended!
Product Description
Twenty-seven fighter pilots, from World War I to the Gulf War, offer first-hand accounts of the twentieth century's most furious air battles. Each chapter is drawn from the books, memoirs, and articles written by the famous men who flew and fought them, men such as:
Manfred von Richthofen, the infamous Red Baron, World War I's greatest ace.
"Captain Eddie" Rickenbacker, America's World War I ace whose incredible exploits became a Hollywood film.
Claire Chennault, to organize the legendary Flying Tigers and took on Japan's mighty air force in the darkest days of World War II.
"Pappy" Boyington, who went from the Tigers to the "Black Sheep" squadron of blunt, boisterous, but deadly air warriors.
Chuck Yeager, another American World War II ace, who became the first test-pilot to break the sound barrier.
Anton Fokker, the Dutch founder of Fokker Aircraft, who invented the "interrupter gear" that allowed a machine gun to fire through the propeller-and made fighter pilots possible.
Besides the explosive accounts of aerial combat, you'll find stories of capture and interrogation, of leaping out of flaming planes and recovering from wounds, and of searching for the desperate pleasures of R&R to help forget it all.

A Brief Review.......2007-09-02
Peter Kilduff is such an experienced writer and researcher of WWI aces and their experiences. This book follows that format and is well documented. As a Richthofen fan it is amazing to get the details of all the men he shaped during combat. Don't look for detailed accounts but rather a chronology of actions, air combats and results. Great glimpse into a time long passed.

A qiuck review.......1999-02-05
The author presents a chronological order of events that mark ww1 aviation. Four stars are given to the exceptional factual accounts of specific air fighting episodes. Author typically has between 80-120 sources at the end of each chapter(biography). This "just the facts" book is an excellent reference to any ww1 enthusiasts library. Very detailed account of peripheral information regarding the war in the air. On the down side...for those interested in flowery story telling, they will be disappointed by the book's lack of flowery descriptions of air combat. I find this point a good point since only those actually fighting in the air could ever accurately describe the aura of air battle.
Book Description
From yesteryear’s flying aces to today’s top guns, The Mammoth Book of Fighter Pilots presents, in the words of the combat pilots who fought them, fifty incredible air battles that have shaped military history in the twentieth century. Veteran anthologist Jon E. Lewis has assembled firsthand accounts from all the great military campaigns of aerial warfare, including World Wars I and II, the Spanish Civil War, Korea, Vietnam, the Falklands, the Gulf, and Bosnia. Page after exciting page of this singular collection brings into vivid play the exploits of such legendary pilots as Manfred von Richtofen, Eddie Rickenbacker, Douglas Bader, and Johnnie Johnson; the Luftwaffe World War II aces Heinz Knoke, Gerd Barkhorn, and Johannes Steinhoff; and forty other brave airmen from America, Britain, France, Japan, Russia, and North Korea. Here, too, are the planes in which these pilots flew into modern history—the Spitfire, the Mustang, the Me 109, the Zero, the F-16, the MiG, and the Harrier. Together with the death-defying drama of combat, this volume vividly captures other facets of the fighter pilot’s life, including the perils of bailing out in enemy territory, the daily horrors of internment in a Japanese POW camp, and a harrowing account of being shot down in a blazing Spitfire. The true-life aerial combat adventures in this stirring collection provide a vicarious, adrenaline-fueled expedition into the shell-blasted skies of war in the twentieth century.

Yakovlev Aces of World War 2 (Aircraft of the Aces)
ASIN: 1857801407 |
Book Description
This volume deals with the entire family of Yakovlev piston-engined fighters from the simple but rugged Yak-1 through the Yak-7, conceived as a trainer but eventually developed into a fighter, and the prolific and versatile Yak-9, to the most capable of the line, the Yak-3 with which even the aces of the Luftwaffe were reluctant to tangle. In comparison with other contemporary aircraft such as the sophisticated all-metal Mustangs with their excellent aerodynamics and monobloc wings and multi-role Messerschmitts and Focke-Wulfs, the Yaks were less resistant to combat damage. However, they proved very amenable for the type of war that came to be waged on the Soviet front where the main efforts of aviation were devoted to the support of ground troops and aerial combat usually took place at low and medium altitudes. Series production of the Yakovlev fighters was undertaken by six factories in the Soviet Union. In all, a total of 35,737 machines covering all the different marques were built. In addition to the thousands of aircraft which served with the Soviet forces, some Yak piston fighters also served outside Russia Red Star Volume 5.

"Yakovlev's Piston-Engined Fighters" Authoritative Source on Important Soviet Fighter Series.......2006-02-07
Yefim Gordon and Dmitriy Khazanov provide a fresh and detailed look at the Soviet Union's single most important WWII fighter series in their book "Yakovlev's Piston-Engined Fighters." The book is meticulously researched, and provides a wealth of information no doubt drawn from archival sources in Russia unavailable to Western authors until the end of the Cold War period. Gordon and Khazanov provide an in-depth look at the developmental history of the Yak-1, Yak-7, Yak-9, and Yak-3, including plenty of photos as well one line drawing of each fighter type and six pages of color paintings. One particular highlight is a detailed chart showing technical specifications for almost every variant of the four fighters listed above. Finally the authors balance their work with historical descriptions of the operational combat history of each aircraft. Overall this authoritative work ranks highly among available sources on Soviet World War II fighter aircraft.

RECOMMENDED.......2007-07-09
This book along with its sister publication on the early Soviet jet bombers casts some light into the rather obscure subjet of the early jet propulsion experiments in the Soviet Union.
I disagree with the author on a couple of points.
1. On page 20-21, he compares the first Soviet-built, turbojet-powered aircraft to fly -- the MiG-9 -- with the British Gloster Meteor F.Mk.III and the US built Lockheed P-80A, with the British and US jets being "...inferior in performance to the MiG-9...".
Indeed he points out that both the Meteor and the P-80A "...had been designed and built somewhat earlier..." but this very fact should have suggested him to run a comparison with the MiG-9 contemporaries, the Gloster Meteor 4 and the Lockheed P-80B which would have made it a more balanced affair.
Instead he rather vaguely states "...A while later, improved versions of the Western fighters outperformed the Mikoyan twinjet, but that was achieved primarily thanks to the installation of more powerful engines (the Soviet Union was still seriously lagging behind the Western world in aero engine design at the time)..."
It would have been more appropriate to compare the MiG-9 with the P-84 (later F-84) which, having flown roughly two months before, was its true contemporary, and outperformed the MiG-9 in terms of top speed, climb rate, and range (all non secondary factors in air-to-air combat) and this despite of a slightly lower total thrust (6% lower).
Later on, during the Korean conflict, the Chinese Air Force leadership, would doggedly refuse to commit its large fleet of MiG-9 to the combat arena (and this despite of strong pressure to do so from Stalin himself) having correctly assessed the MiG-9's inferiority to the US jet fighters then fighting in Korea.
2. Quoting from page 62. "...Some Western sources claim that on 10th May 1953 a Yak-15 was shot down in Korea by a US Air Force (319th Fighter Interceptor Squadron) Lockheed F-94 Starfire flown by Capt. D. Phillips. However this is nonsense, as Yakovlev jets never participated in the Korean War. (A possible explanation is that someone mistakenly wrote 'Yak-15' instead of 'MiG-15')..."
The aircraft downed by the crew of Phillips (pilot) and Atto (R/O) on the night of May 10, 1953 was vaguely identified as a 'jet', I think Gordon is mixing up this claim with the one made by the USMC VMF(N)-513 crew of William Stratton (pilot)/Hans Hoglind (R/O) on November 3, 1952.
The USMC crew originally identified their victim as a 'Yak-15' and this is not completely incorrect as their victim was actually a trainer-jet Yak-17UTI, a conversion of the Yak-17 fighter which, at the time, did not have a separate designation, in the West, being simply known also as 'Yak-15'.
Yak-17UTIs were used by the Soviet 29th GvIAP in China, to train North Korean and Chinese Communist pilots to fly jet fighters (fact well known to the author, see page 74-75).
Recent researches seem to indicate the USMC victim was flown by a high-ranking officer of the 64th IAK (see http://www.korean-war.com/AirChronology.html).
Despite of these two, minor points, I thoroughly enjoyed this book which, along with the one on early jet bombers, provides, in my opinion, an accurate image of the early jet development in the Soviet Union.
Strongly recommended!!!!
Book Description
Using the profile of a German journalist reporting from the front line of World War One, the author places questions to the best-known flyer of all time.
The questions are pertinent and diverse and bring 'responses' that are wholly based on established documented evidence. The process brings freshness to our understanding of the formative years of military aviation when the speeds were slower but the skill and the daring, the pressures and the risks, matched any battle-scene before or since. The immediacy given by this fascinating technique enables readers to gain their historical knowledge through the personalities of the past to a greater degree than ever before.
All the comments ascribed to von Richthofen are based on his own writings or those who knew him, on log books and official records, and on family and military archives, including never before accessed records and reports.
The Red Baron was not pursued around his battlefield by BBC or CNN but if he had been this would have been the result! The Red Baron comes alive in a new and exciting way!

Interesting Approach, but nothing really new.......2007-02-26
Manfred von Richtofen must be one of the most written-about figures in aviation history. Almost every minute of the man's life, and especially the events of his death, have been retold in books, magazines and TV. In "Talking with the Red Baron", Mr Kilduff takes the role of a magazine reporter assigned to cover Richtofen's combat exploits. This unique approach allows the author to integrate both Richtofen's own published papers, and other primary and secondary sources about his life/career. It makes interesting reading-mostly, though it does get somewhat repetitive-although one cannot escape 21 April 1918 while reading it. Overall, there's not much really new here for anyone knowledgeable about Richtofen; and one error that is repeated. The error is in regards to the armament of German WW1 fighter aircraft. With the exception of the Fokker EIII, and Haberstadt, all German fighters had twin machine guns. The author though, repeatedly uses the singular in every discussion of weaponry. This might seem a nitpicking detail, but a major German advantage over Allied aircraft was, in fact this firepower (most Allied fighters had a single gun until 1917). One would expect an aviation historian to get such a critical detail right.
Given this limfac, the book is a worthwhile read for someone with a general interest in the Red Baron's life.
