Abstract "This is the first book in the English language to examine a critical early period in the development of military aviation in Russia (1919-1924). Set against the backdrop of the world changing events of WWI, the Russian Revolution, and the formation of the Soviet Union, Libbey traces the growing influence of air power within the Russian sphere. Based on extensive research in Russian-language sources, as well as secondary sources in English, this book will be important reading for those interested in early aviation and/or the early years of the USSR"-- Provided by publisher.
