The full story of the aerial fighting surrounding the Battle of Kursk, the largest tank battle in history.

The Battle of Kursk was one of the defining moments of World War II. In July 1943, German forces launched a massive attack. The resulting clash of tanks at Prokhorovka was the largest armor battle in history. The battle marked a turning point on the Eastern Front; the Red Army gained the strategic initiative and would not lose it.

From his numerous contacts across the region, the author has produced an account drawn from individual experiences on the ground in and around Kyiv.

While the past half-century has seen no diminution in the valor and fighting skill of the U.S. military and its allies, the fact remains that our wars have become more protracted, with decisive results more elusive.
