Liberators. FightersIt was spring 1943. Soviet troops seized a bridgehead on "Malaya Zemlya" near Novorossiysk. In the Caucasus, the Red Army is confidently moving forward, preparing to break through the Blue Line, a powerful system of German fortifications in the lower reaches of the Kuban. In the upcoming operation, a special role is assigned to Soviet fighter pilots. It was they who were to end the rule of the German aviation in the sky of the Kuban.

Before the war in the USSR, only film actors could compete with the popularity of pilots. Young people were literally eager to conquer the sky, practicing in flying clubs. The air force grew in size. But the first blow of German aircraft on June 22, 1941, most of the Soviet airfields and aircraft were disabled. The pilots lacked not only vehicles, but also experience in air combat. It was especially hard for Soviet fighters in the skies of the Battle of Rzhev, where they clashed with the German aces of Melders' squadron. The turning point in the situation was outlined only by the end of 1942. Soviet pilots began to switch to German combat tactics, mastering new types of aircraft - Yaki, LaGGi, MiGi.

The series details the various types of German and Soviet fighters during the war. Veterans will share their memories of the everyday life of this kind of troops: what they flew in and how, about "free hunting", about rewards for the downed enemy plane, about the battle in the air of Taman.

A separate part of the film is dedicated to stories Order of Lenin.

      I suggest articles devoted to the Great Patriotic War periodically (by May 9, for example) be displayed on the main page, otherwise I will not read these articles. But in vain.
