Bagration to Berlin by Christer Bergstrom
 
This work has a longer time line then his other books. Considering the title it seems like it would begin around Apr or May 44 but starts off with a catch up beginning in Aug43. The area range is from Leningrad to the Crimea and back to Berlin. Some chapters seem light on details while others have more information (air battles, units involved, etc.). He has more on which German "expert" shot down which Russian "ace" (an sometimes vise-versa). Erich Hartmann's claims (not all) are also mentioned (confirmed and times that there appear to be no VVS losses). Aircraft types and new weapons being used are also listed. My first impression was that it was to much area covered and to long a time frame but still the BC/RS series probably want get to this area for a number of years. Still it was a good book but I'm like everyone else wanting more detail on air battles.

Prolific a writer as Mr. Bergstrom is I wish he would knuckle down and concentrate of completing the Black Cross Red Star series.
