No serious work has yet been written about the role of aviation in the Battle of Stalingrad. It seems that everything was reduced to street battles, tank attacks and artillery duels. In this book, the battle is shown as if from a bird's-eye view, through the eyes of German aces and Soviet pilots who flew on the verge of physical and nervous exhaustion. Special attention is paid to the famous air bridge to Stalingrad, organized by the Luftwaffe, which had no analogues in history. Hundreds of overloaded airplanes through snow and fog, day and night flew to the "cauldron", in spite of anti-aircraft fire and attacks of "Stalin's Falcons", who opposed them, sparing no effort and not counting the huge losses. The author has collected incredible and sometimes shocking details of air battles in the skies of Stalingrad, as well as in the radius of two hundred kilometers around it, systematizing a huge array of information from German and domestic archives. An objective view of the events will allow the reader to feel the cruelty and drama of this unprecedented battle.
