Re: New book : E. Mariinskiy RED STAR AIRACOBRA
I bought it a month or so back from Midland Counties. I found it very interesting, certainly not overtly propagandist but told with a convincing naivety which seems highly appropriate for the time. There are a number of insights into the training and living (and fighting) conditions of a Soviet fighter unit. He certainly liked the P-39, although some of his comments on the other Soviet fighters do have the air of "My aircraft wonderful, yours hopeless" common to fighter pilots of all nationalities!
Having lent it out and got it back, I'm currently rereading it.
