Emelianenko flies again! Vasily Emelianenko was an IL-2 pilot and he has a book titled Red Star Against the Swastika. His first combat was in the Smolensk region against the Bobr River crossings at the beginning of the war. As the war went on he found himself pushed all the way back to his hometown of Nalchik in the Caucasus.
