Continuation of the bestseller “1941: Air War in the Arctic”! Having defended the ice-free port of Murmansk in 1941, the Red Army preserved the most important sea gates of the USSR, which made it possible to organize military supplies from the allies in the shortest possible time. It was because of them that in 1942 the air war on the northernmost section of the Soviet-German front reached its maximum. Moreover, of the 61 bombing raids on the Murmansk port and ships in the Kola Bay in the first half of 1942, Soviet fighters and anti-aircraft artillery managed to completely repulse more than half. Without this, transports with weapons and other strategic cargo and warships would have suffered huge losses, because they were attacked by air units that had distinguished themselves in the destruction of Royal Navy ships in 1939–1940. and ships of the Northern Fleet in 1941. A new book by the leading historian of the air war in the Arctic, based on both Soviet and German archival documents, for the first time in all the details and the smallest details, day after day restores the true chronicle of the hardest battles that unfolded in the skies above Kola Peninsula and Barents Sea. These same unique materials made it possible to compile a complete list of all combat losses of Soviet aviation in the North.
