{detailed description}The extent to which German research and development had influenced aviation worldwide first became apparent to aviation historians in the 1960s, however their research was concentrated exclusively on the period of the Second World War and the immediate postwar years.
In the period before and during the First World War, the influence of German aviation developments was felt more in Russia and the Soviet Union than anywhere else.
From the very beginning there was an interest in acquiring German know-how, which resulted in early ties with the German aviation industry.
This cooperation continued until the beginning of the 1940s, when the terrible war between Germany and the Soviet Union abruptly ended this epoch. The effects of German-Soviet cooperation continued to be felt until 1951, however.
This book by authors Andrei Alexandrov and Genadi Petrov, illustrated with many previously unpublished photographs, depicts in an impressive way the blooming period of the Soviet aviation industry, which owed a great deal of its knowledge to technology derived from German designs.
