This comprehensive two‑book set delivers an in‑depth chronicle of the Curtiss P‑40 “Kittyhawk” fighters in the Arctic theater of World War II. Focused on their deployment in the Soviet Far North, these volumes offer a compelling tale of aerial warfare, survival, and alliance under extreme conditions.
Volume 1: Origins and Early Combat Operations (1942 – May 1944) — Traces the arrival of Lend-Lease Kittyhawks, their integration into the Northern Fleet Air Force, and their baptism of fire. You’ll explore early fighter engagements, pilot training in Arctic winters, logistical hurdles, and the tactical evolution of air-to-air combat in this remote region.
Volume 2: Reconnaissance, Ground Support and Final Missions (1944 – 1945) — Chronicles the Kittyhawks’ shift from air superiority to multifaceted roles: photo‑reconnaissance, close air support, and last‑ditch strikes. This final volume details the unit’s sustained operations through the war’s end—including strikes on supply convoys, support for ground offensives, and reflections on performance in the closing months.
