Re: Books on Soviet air units, campaigns in ww2?
- 1973 "official history" is a real soviet book with propagandistic episodes but also some useful information
- Pokrishkin's german version is quite nice IMHO (and cheap because GDR-print)
- A 70'ies german translation of an IL2-pilot is called "Lebe in Sekunden", quite interesting (and cheap because GDR-print)
- Another cheap GDR-print is "Als erste in der Heimat" bei Fajtl, a "czechoslovak" fighter pilot who left the RAF to fight in the VVS togteher with comrades
- "Attack of the Aircobra" is not as good as I hoped, "just" nice
- Astonishingly very good is the Osprey book on IL2 guards units, their other stuff is not worth mentioning
- One very good german book with hundreds of pilot's short-bigraphies is "Stalins Falcons" or so, please PM me for the exact title
