Mikhail Devyataev. Cherkashin N.

The book is devoted to the feat and fate of the legendary Soviet pilot, who managed to make an incredible one - to escape from the concentration camp, hijacked the aircraft from the German airfield. The author was personally acquainted with his hero, visited many places related to his life, including the German island, from which the captive pilot made his daring flight.

every year interest in the personality of Devyataev is increasing. In the minds of the people of the latest generation, who did not know the war, that solitaire of fatal circumstances and happy accidents, which seemed to be a seemingly ordinary pilot, does not fit. Nevertheless, it is impossible to call it an ordinary: nine of those who are called outstanding, outstanding. And all the military, air and worldly ups and downs that were falling to him actually occurred, and not invented by a science fiction writer.
