The Vultures
About The Vultures
Two large eyes light up in the dark. They belong to a fascist vulture that is also a warplane. It and the others wait to attack the Soviet Union. Soviet fighters drive them off and destroy them. Panteleimon Sazonov directed the drawn poster. The Russian title is Stervyatniki.
