Every Soviet & Allied Aircraft Used on the Eastern Front In WWII

They did not have air superiority.
They did not have perfect machines.
They had necessity.

From the frozen skies over Moscow to the burning airspace above Stalingrad and Kursk, the Eastern Front was the most brutal air war of World War II.

This video is a complete visual catalog of every Soviet and Allied aircraft used on the Eastern Front between 1941 and 1945 — including Soviet-built fighters and bombers, as well as American and British Lend-Lease aircraft flown by the Red Air Force.

Covering fighters, ground-attack aircraft, bombers, transports, reconnaissance planes, and early jets, this documentary explores how Allied air power adapted under fire and ultimately helped crush the Luftwaffe where the war was decided.
