One of the few remaining mysteries of World War two has been the extent to which the Soviet Air Force used German aircraft. Based on both Soviet and German records, Under the Red Star tells the full story for the first time. It was known that a number of German aircraft were purchased after the signature of the Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact in 1939 but what was not known was that a great many captured aircraft types were captured and test-flown during the war and many were used operationally. Under the Red Star fills an important gap in the aviation history of World War Two with over 200 photos, most never before published, and a wealth of text material never before published in the west.
