Featured review
A good film about the sacrifices and stories of the Soviet Air Force in WWII. This saga of the struggle on the Eastern Front is truly one that will impress for decades to come. I regret that I had to finish the movie in a hurry, but I had a great time. I don't know if it was because of my affections towards the Soviet people during WWII, but I definitely won't forget them like the Western media. A great struggle like this deserves a great movie as a monument.
