- You could also try "Attack of the Airacobras - Soviet Aces, American P-39s & the air war against Germany" by Dmitriy Loza, about 9 GIAD.

The book includes a lot of interresting information but, if I had to choose, I'd clearly prefer Antipov's history of 812th IAP (I'm waiting for the second volume too).

- As far as campaigns are concerned (aside from the "Black Cross/Red Star" series and the "Air Battle" series) : Bernad, Karlenko and Roba wrote "From Barbarossa to Odessa" describing in detail the fighting on the Southern part of the Eastern Front in 1941.

- Emelianenko's "Red Star against the Swastika" is indeed very good (and includes a list of his unit's personnel losses).

I also enjoyed Reshetnikov's "Bomber Pilot on the Eastern Front: 307 Missions behind Enemy Lines", which gives an interesting view of the ADD's war at night, but in which you won't find much precise data. On the other hand, Pokryshkin's memoirs somewhat disappointed me, although that could be in part explained by the poor quality of the French translation I had.

- Besides, a number of unit histories and memoirs were written in French about the "Normandie-Niemen" fighter group which fought on the Eastern Front with Yak fighters. Maybe some of them were translated in English...
