The book is the first Russian academic publication in which the disclosure of aerial battles of the Korean war (1950-1953) is not based on traditional Western publications, but on newly found Soviet archival sources and testimonies of the participants of the events described. For many years the author carefully collected materials about the Soviet pilots who fought in the Korean sky, corresponded with the participants of the events. The author highlights the combat operations in the air, describes size and composition of the Soviet aviation groups and analyzes combat losses of the American aces and senior commanders of the U.S. Air Forces.
