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:

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.
