Between September 1936 and February 1939, the Soviet Union was
covertly aiding the Spanish Republic in its civil war with the
right wing forces of General Francisco Franco, which had revolted
against the government and were being aided semi-covertly by
Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany. The Soviets were not only supplying
the Republic with oil, gasoline, and food stuffs, but also the
aircraft, tanks, artillery pieces, and small arms they needed to
conduct the war. The Soviets also began sending military advisers
and personnel from all branches of the service, plus engineers,
translators, merchant seamen and war industry factory workers. Of
the approximately 3,000 people sent from the Soviet Union, 772 were
from the air force, and of these 100 were killed in action or died
as a result of accidents or wounds received in battle.
