I don't think there is going to be a second volume after all this time but I hope so.

Here is a correction for page 124, Appendix 7 Pilot losses of the 812th IAP in combat in the Kuban. Pilot #3 has Nikolay Nazarovich Morozov MIA on the 20Apr43. The correct first name is Mikhail. The appendix is missing St. Serzh. Aleksey Ivanovich Ivanov listed as MIA for the 20Apr43.

Hello!

As it turned out later, Ivanov was wounded only, was found in hospital.

Best regards,
Andrey

That would be sad. I still hope for a second volume of this excellent book.

Apologies to return this old thread, does anyone know if Volume II will be published?

Early last year I found a new copy of Vol I, something I had been looking for quite some time, and the book is excellent. I also managed to find all of the original Russian articles in published in the История Авиации magazine but these are essentially the content of the book and end in May 1944, after the liberation of Crimea. This is, to my knowledge, the only Soviet unit history in English and of such thorough research in Russian

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find any contacts of Mr. Antipov or Mr. Utkin.
