Oostfront Squadron #3

Three WWII fighter planes dominate the cover of this 2021 Dark Dragon Books release — a German Bf 109 in striking yellow-nosed livery surges toward the viewer in the foreground, while two more aircraft, including a Soviet camouflaged fighter bearing the markings of the legendary Normandie-Niemen squadron, wheel through a bright blue sky behind it. The dramatic aerial composition, rendered by cover artist Giuseppe De Luca, perfectly captures the tension of the Eastern Front air war that defines this series. "Bestemming Moskou" (Destination Moscow) promises an intense third chapter in Patrice Buendia, Marc-Olivier Cayre, and Mariella Manfré's story of French volunteer pilots flying for the Soviet Union.
