If you're familiar at all with the MMP/Stratus publications you know the drill; excellent color profiles, very good pictures, very good details, good tactical history, okay general context. This work is no different. Reading between the lines, what does stand out is it appears that the Finnish bomber and army co-operation flyers had a rather hard war, as opposed to the popular narrative of how the Finnish fighter force over-performed and managed to consistently punch above their weight.
