From the publisher

He is also the co-author of the volume Imperial Russian Air Forces, published by Flying Machine Press in 1995.

Media reviews

"In this small compendium Victor Kulikov presents those Russian Army Aviation Service pilots who were considered aces. This volume provides the relevant facts, dates, and locations of the aces’ actions and their eventual personal outcome if they outlived the war and revolution. In some cases there are narratives in the pilots’ own words, which always provide interesting vignettes of the historical events."
- Over the Front (Summer 2013)

"...what a ripping read!  Make this exciting effort your introduction to these forgotten heroes."
- David L. Veres, www.cybermodeler.com (June 2013)

"This narrowed focus details the planes, the aces, their strategies and their key battles of the times, using information based on material newly sourced by the author from Russian military and private archives. The result is an outstanding analysis suitable for any aviation history or World War I military holding."
- The Midwest Book Review (July 2013)
