The Spanish Civil War, which took place during the interwar period, was one of the key moments of the 20th century, serving as a kind of dress rehearsal for military innovations, new machines, and combat tactics that would later dominate the battlefields of World War II. Numerous types of aircraft from various countries took part in this conflict: fighters, bombers, and support aircraft on both sides of the front – Republican and Nationalist. This volume provides detailed descriptions of machines such as the Polikarpov I-15, Heinkel He 111, Fiat CR.32, and Junkers Ju 52, as well as their significance in air operations.
