Ogonyok magazine No. 18-19 dated May 10, 1943

The original magazine is in good collector's condition. The cover depicts two participants in operations behind enemy lines — Guard captains, medal-bearers V. Senator (left) and F. Parashchenko (right). They are studying the route before the next combat flight. At the top of the page there is an aerial photograph of a night raid by Soviet aircraft on an enemy railway junction. The image shows light streaks and spots — these are burning trains, explosions and fires on the tracks. During this period (May 1943), Soviet aircraft delivered powerful strikes against enemy communications, paving the way for the 1943 summer campaign. The format is 270*340 mm. Color and black-and-white illustrations. Minor damage to the cover. Complete set. Guarantee of authenticity.
