I published several photos of various airfields from your list, taken from the air or ground views, in my book 'From Barbarossa to Odessa' (two volumes).

If you need any of those photos, just let me know.

Re: Airfield photos Bessarabia, Moldova, Ukraine,Bucovina
 

Thanks for your offer but I have both volumes available. The photos depicts airplanes and little of the ground facilities .

What would be of interest to me from both books would be your opinion regarding folowing :

1. How did you determine that the DO-215 of 3.(F) 121 was shot down on 23.7.41...because the
German records I have state the date 25.7.1941...although your date seems to be the correct one.

2. Page 37 the yellow 7 DB-3F can you email me this photo...and you you know
the date or the location of crash ?..I suspect the aircraft may be one of the
loing range DBAP's which operated from either Saki, Zporoje or Tokmak

3. Page 56 the the SB-2...do you know the aproximate crash location ?

4.Page 126 do you know the crash location or date of the DB-3F ?

5.Page 139 do you have clear resolution of Vygoda airfield

6. Same about page 156 lowest botton I-153 date and crash location ? could you email this photo?

Last question is their a clear proof that a TB-8 bombed Bucharest 1942 ?

Thanks in advance

Hello,

Give me your e-mail address and I will send you a couple of scans, as requested.

P.S. Are you, by any chance, A.K.?

Re: Airfield photos Bessarabia, Moldova, Ukraine,Bucovina
 

Thank you but disregard the issue , by any chance I am not AK
or anything similar. Never spoke to you prior this, as such
do you mind to verify with me this question again ?

On search engines, it says you reside in Canada,Romania
US and elsewhere,however on here you post Hungaria.

I'm really confussed now on whom I'm talking to and can't
understand why you offered help which later on you didn't
follow up !

By the way Odessa's Volumes I & II, disclose numerous
if not many historical errors of yours & Karlenko worth
reviewing and editting....just in case you are interested
on Russian reader's opinion too such as of D.Chazanov,
A.Medved, M.Morozov,V.Emelianenko ,etc and
even mine. Good luck.

Best Regards
Markus

I don't know what happened here since my last visit.
I can drop by only every other day.

As for my aforementioned two-volume book, I am the first one to declare that it's not perfect, there are certainly information, which is either missing, or can be updated.
Every completion, correction, - backed up by a reliable source - is welcome.

Hi Dénes

Just wanted to personally thank you for the two excellent volumes, but also wanted to ask if you had intended to, or have plans to extend the series further to cover the later air war over the city/region?

Best Regards

Thank you, Chris, for your kind words. Indeed, I tried my very best, together with my co-authors, to gather and put head-to-head all available info on that particular topic, broken down on a daily basis.

Yes, I plan, but not in the near future, to continue this approach in dealing with operations that involved not only the Luftwaffe and the Soviet Air Force, but other, smaller Axis air forces as well, which were seldom covered in published literature.

Actually, I already have most of the info and photos needed for such an endeavour, but what I desperately lack is time.
