This book, for the first time in Russian historiography, is devoted to the entire complex of air battles that unfolded in July-August 1943 on the central sectors of the Soviet-German front. Their most important episode was the Battle of Kursk, which included the defensive operation of the Central and Voronezh fronts, after the Germans launched a strategic operation according to the Citadel plan, and subsequent offensive operations of the Red Army to the north and south of the so-called Kursk salient. As you know, despite the powerful blow undertaken on July 5 by the forces of the Army Groups "Center" and "South", supported by squadrons of the 6th and 4th air fleets, the Germans could not break through the defenses and surround the Soviet troops. At the same time, from the first hours, fierce and bloody battles unfolded not only on the ground, but also in the air. Then, when the enemy was bled to death and stopped, a counteroffensive of the Soviet troops unfolded according to the plans of Kutuzov, into which the troops of the Western, Bryansk and Central Fronts went on July 12, 1943, and the Commander Rumyantsev, in which the troops of the Steppe and Voronezh fronts took part from August 3, 1943 The book examines the course of the struggle in each of the individual operations, draws conclusions about why the Luftwaffe could not have a decisive influence on the course and outcome of the battle on the ground in the summer of 1943 (unlike in 1941 and 1942). This work is supplied with numerous photographs, tables and diagrams. It will undoubtedly be of interest to a wide range of readers, especially young people.
