This popped up on Boardgamegeek’s Daily Kindle Deal list.  Had to grab it given my current 1938 Central Europe/Balkans effort.  The beauty of subscribing to this thread is the ability to pick up titles like this for pennies on the paper version dollar.

The book’s content presents an overview of the modernization of the Yugoslov Air Force prior to WW2; a choppy day-to-day account of the “April War”; and a discussion of the various aircraft employed.

I use “choppy” because of the author’s use of the Serbo-Croation abbreviations for personnel ranks and unit designations.  Hard for my parochial mind to absorb.

The highlights of the book are detailed descriptions and excellent photographs of  individual aircraft.  The Yugoslav air force was polyglot outfit, with a wide mix of (relatively) imported and domestically produced modern types, obsolescent/obsolete aircraft, and one-offs.  I can only imagine the resulting maintenance nightmare.

An interesting aspect of the narrative are the numerous references to sabotage of aircraft and outright disobedience and circumvention of orders by personnel  sympathetic to the Axis.

Definitely  worth the $2.99.
