Re: Don Bend book 1942
Hi
Good, that I am wrong about combat between Hungarian fighters and Soviet Hurricanens. I do not deeply digg out this subject (mostly Soviet side) so it is possible, why not
BTW in which period these combat did took place? 235. IAD had used Hurricanes between beginning of June 1942 to 30 VIII 42, the last unit flying on Hurricane was 436. IAP and this is most probably one, which could fight versus Hungarians. Its pilot had also claimed the most victories climed on "Hurritones" - Soviet nickname for Hurricanes.
Yes I know that Ił-2 was also captured then, if I am right I have a photo of it in my colection, but Hungrians had also captured at least one Il-2 in 1941 and this was presented in Budapest "fest"/fair/? in the summer 1941.
This Ił-2 from 1942 was transported to Hungary too?
BTW yes LaGG-3 was also captured on railway station Novyj Oskol (if I am right), but thses 3 planes (2 Hurri + 1 LaGG-3) had severe combat damages and were just transported back to workshop.
Despite these 3 figters there were at last one mre Hurricane MK IIC with 4 Brithish 20 mm cannons - there is a photo of it, what about this plane?

PS
Which language will be printed your book about aces?
