How the USSR Accidentally Debunked Its Own War Legend
Paper Skies
@paperskiesaviationAbout
History and aviation. If these two words mean something to you, then you are in the right place. Here, you will find amazing stories about famous airplanes, historical events, or exceptional people that have changed the world of aviation or turned out to be unfairly forgotten. The stories that I tell may sound so incredible that you might think they are taken from Hollywood scripts, but they all truly happened. Most of the described events are quite old and more suited to paper books, but my goal is to transfer them carefully into videos so everyone can enjoy them. I want to save these stories from oblivion by putting them in Paper Skies.
