Re: "22.06.41, combat actions of Soviet Bombers" - article of M.Timin

I just finished going through this article (found it on line). It covers the Soviet bomber aviation of the North-West and West Fronts for the first part of the day. It's not about the bomber units getting destroyed on the airfields. It's more about the bomber strikes that were made after the attack. I found out alot of information on their make up before the attack and table on the airfields used. Finding the names of the towns and villages outside of the Russian name for them has been a little difficult. I ended up with 19 pages of translation. It would probably be better to print both parts in a book form rather then a magazine.It doesn't have a lot of first person "fillers" on what happen. In WWW.allaces.ru there is a description of the 130 SBAP's attack which on looking close you can eliminate any claims by 1./JG53. I don't know if Osprey would be a good publisher for it but they seem to assembly line out books. The first part was good and I wait for the second now.
