A detailed tactical accounting of the air war over the Soviet Union in 1941 that is also a very nice package as an artifact. What is a little bit disappointing is that I would have liked to have seen more about the input rendered by the higher Luftwaffe commanders at the Luftflotte level, or at least some explanation of why they apparently displayed relatively little operational direction. This is even when considering that the author does a good job of documenting the process by which German air power began to dwindle into being merely a tactical force. ( )
