Description:The Russian Civil War of 1918–1921 was a turning point of the 20th century and the eventual political consequences of the Red victory were foreshadowed in the destruction, disease, famine, death and profound social upheaval within Russia herself. A squadron of The Royal Air Force was sent by the British government to assist the White Armies in their struggle against the Reds on the front south of Moscow. Marion Aten, an American from the southwest who had enlisted in the Royal Flying Corps in 1917, was asked by Commanding Officer and WWI ace, Raymond Collishaw, to join the squadron. Last Train Over Rostov Bridge is the story of 47 Squadron’s B Flight, from the summer of 1919, when the confident cry of the White Armies was Na Moskvu!, through the bitter autumn and winter retreat in the snow to the Black Sea. This is a highly personal account of the campaign and was written as a rousing yarn of adventure for the sake of adventure, of companionship and bravery, and ultimately of heartbreak and death. Beyond the caviar, vodka and beautiful Russian girls, Aten, as a prestigious flyer, had access to the top command of the southern Russian armies including Baron Wrangel and he watched as infighting, corruption and lack of resources condemned the White cause to collapse into chaotic defeat.Aten worked closely with professional writer, Arthur Orrmont, on the original publication. This 50th anniversary edition has been newly edited to contain a wealth of information, including a new Introduction, detailed Notes to the Text, Appendices and previously unpublished material including rare photographs. Last Train Over Rostov Bridge is a memoir of real power and readers will long remember the men of B Flight and the cataclysmic events of the Russian Civil War.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
