In the Skies of Nomonhan Japan versus Russia May - September 1939

NEDIALKOV, Dimitar

Manchester: Crecy Publishing, 2011. Octavo, printed wrappers, 216 pp., illustrated throughout. A very fine copy. This is the story of the 'Nomonhan Incident' that saw more than 900 Soviet and 450 Japanese aircraft battle each other for four months in 1939 in a desolate area in Mongolia. The Japanese pilots flying Ki-27 Nate fighters clashed with Soviet I-15, I-153 biplanes and I-16 monoplanes, including TB-3 heavy bombers and the Ki-21 Sally which made its debut. This publication unpacks this conflict and the fighting tactics used, including loss lists, colour profiles, and dozens of period photographs. Item #3952
