Re: Was there ever any "official" Soviet history written covering Air Force operations during the brief Polish Campaign of Sept., 1939?

I do not understand your frustration. After all, it is a great challenge and an opportunity. Almost no one wants to write this subject. So, as soon as possible to work :-)

Probably, about two years ago I talked with Mark Sołoninem (Russian came to Warsaw for the promotion of his book published in Poland). He is the author of several interesting books on Soviet aviation in 1941 (most are renowned "22 June 1941" and "The sleeping peacefully airports / "Na mirno spiaszczych aerodromach.")
Immediately I asked him this question, but why not move the Soviet aviation theme of the Polish. Brief - no to write home about, no sensationalism, drama. Theme is practically not marketable. And now, that is just a regular boring. No fire & smoke, :-)

In Russia (Moscow) does not have a practice flight magazine, which came out in the 90s There appeared a number of interesting material written by various fans (Mir Awiacji, Istori Awiacji, Awiacja, ect). Practically magazines do not come for several years. Sometimes the articles contained therein have a very high level. Left magazine "Awiacja i Kosmonawtika", but that's not it. A great pity.



Additional articles that I have written and published them in Poland after 2008. They give a lot of additional information or corrections with respect to what is provided in the book. In particular, Article 1 and 3 You can always find new interesting information.
