Red aviators on the front lines of the Civil War of 1918-1920
59.99 €

This publication provides the first comprehensive account of the practice of awarding the Order of the Red Banner of the RSFSR, the highest military award at the time, to aviators during the Russian Civil War in the early 20th century. Recipients of this award were then known as "Krasnoznamyonets." This book covers the period from 1918 to the end of the Soviet-Polish War in 1920.
Based on numerous archival documents (combat reports, aviator reports, award submissions, and orders), personal recollections of those directly involved in the events described, and family archives, the circumstances of these heroic acts are explored. In addition to the previously well-known aviators—heroes of the Civil War—the book also recounts for the first time the exploits of pilots, observers, mechanics, motor mechanics, and military commissars, whose mentions could only be found in lists of those awarded. The book is illustrated with unique photographs, many of which are published for the first time, and includes tables, diagrams, an index, and a bibliography. For historians and anyone interested in the history of Russian aviation.
