Pros:
Provides insight into the deployment and use of tactical aircraft by the Soviet military. Briefly describes the changes in tactics after the first few months of the war. The coverage of the repair units and quality issues with the P-39 were also welcome. If you have a interest in the Soviet tactical use of the P-39, there is enough here for you.
Cons:
The text literally flows in a tedious, cliche like manner. I do not know if is a question of the authors style or some nuance was lost during translation. If you're looking for something written in the style of Pierre Clostermann or Robert Scott this is not the book for you.
Summary:
This is not a casual read. Utilize the foot notes as much as possible. This is an important book in how it describes the tactical environment and use of the P-39 in the Soviet air force.
