Wink Re: LaGG & Lavochkin Aces of World War 2

Boris, some days ago I received a copy of a book, which was published in the US and sounds about some military equipments. It contains some small mistakes regarding these rifles but the main problem is, that the author written a 'historical introduction' about Central Europe from medieval times (according to him, based on some well known books from the United States) It is full with very serious mistakes from the first mentioned battle, near Dürnkrut in 1278 (the book stated that in this battle Habsburg Rudolf at last defeated the Hungarians and stopped the Hungarian nomadic campaigns agains the west, however the Hungarians led their last campaign against western Europe three centuries ago and in this battle the Hungarian king, IV. László was the ally of Rudolf and they defeated the Czeczh king, Przemysl Otakar) till June, 1941 when the author stated, that Bulgaria attacked the Sovietunion (nonsense...)
