Re: RED DEVILS OVER THE YALU [off topic]

I also bought a copy of Red Devils over the Yalu after the release, but my time is very limited now to read such long books.

After a quick skim through the book I agree with Frank, that the author really exaggerates when he tries to confirm the Soviet claims. He tries to attribute most of the UN losses to Soviet fighters, if the type is the same or similar, regardless to the real circumstances. It looks to me that to him, it is sometimes rather a pride question, than looking for the truth and it is not really the scientific and healthy approach. Maybe my opinion will be different after I'll read the entire book carefully.
