RUSSIAN ROULETTE by Robert Taylor

In a typical head-on attack a Soviet Yak 3 races past a Bf109 during a ferocious dog fight over the Eastern Front. Other Yaks wheel and turn frantically in search of the enemy. Casualties on both sides are evident. Away into the distant horizon stretches a vast Russian sky, painted in Robert’s inimitable style: soon all will be quiet again until the next ferocious encounter.
