Re: New Russian book: Soviet GPW Fighter Aces 1941-1945
Nokose,
I have a copy of the book you reference, obtained for me by Viktor Kulikov in Moscow. It is not a book about the aces. Rather it is short histories of all the fighter regiments (not sure if the naval units are present) going back to the late '30s, and extending to the '50s and the Korean War. A chronology, which seems to be about changes of assignment, and aircraft types. A list of commanders, with their dates. Various tables, whose headings I have not attempted to translate (my Russian is very poor, limited to transliterating Cyrillic, and a few obvious words). Occasional photos of commanders. I do not see a list of aces with each unit. ISBN 978-5-9955-0707-9. Published by ЯУЗА, Moscow, 2014.
Enjoy!
Frank.
