Прикрой, атакую! В атаке - "Меч"

Time is inexorable, and fewer and fewer veterans of the Great Patriotic War remain among us, who took on their shoulders all its hardships and hardships. The more priceless is their living testimony of those terrible and heroic years.

The author of this book, which is published for the first time without abbreviations and cuts, is the hero of the Soviet Union Anton Dmitrievich Yakimenko, one of the few pilots who happened to go through the entire war "from bell to bell" and even more: having received a baptism of fire back in 1939 at Khalkhin Gol, he met the Victory in Austria.

Hundreds of sorties, dozens of downed enemy aircraft, three wounds, victories and losses, the unvarnished truth about the war and the most fascinating descriptions of air battles shown "from the inside", from the cockpit of a fighter - these are not just memoirs, this is a heroic chronicle of a great era seen through the eyes of a generation of Victors.
