[Mirek Wawrzynski]

In 2014 have been released two very interesting texts done by Mikhail Timin from Moscow (Russia). Both relate to the first day of the war in the air (on 22.06.1941) fought by Soviet fighter regiments. Autor released two texts on the web in the Russian language.

For the first time been deeply and comprehensively presented stories of battles fought by the pilots from the 55th and 67th IAP IAP (South Front / Odessa Military District). Author corrects and clarifies a number of hitherto unknown facts related to the first day of Barbarossa and the Russians fighting against the flyers of Fliegerkorps IV and the Romanian aviation (ARR).
Author during the writing of texts extensive use of Russian state archives.

Past studies devoted to the description of events 22 June 1941 contain a number of factual errors, eg. publications done by Christer Bergstrom and Denes Bernard & Dymitryji Karlenko. Sometimes, these authors write in the works of historical fiction, which has nothing to do with what actually happened on June 22, 1941.
