VVS RKKA over Poland IX - X 1939?

VVS RKKA over Poland IX-X 1939
Hi
I wonder if there are new text edited in Russian concerning the use of Soviet aviation (VVS RKKA or other branches like GVF/Aeroflot or VVS VMF, or VVS NKVD) in air war over Poland IX-X 1939?

I know, that there were edited in 1999 (by V. Kotielnikov) and in 2000-2001 by A. Stepanow first 2 texts in Russian aviation-historical magazines about Soviet use of Red air power over Poland. Both were also edited in Poland (1999 and in 2006 respectivly).

Maybe after such long time something new had beed edited about this very small air war?
Soviet had used (rather focused) the air power of about 3.300 combat planes to support this agression (17 IX - 14 X 1939). Of course much smaller forces were in fact used during combat use over Poland in this period (about "1000" planes at all).

Regards,
Mirek Wawrzyński from Poland

PS
In Poland I had edited 2 next texts about this small air war (in 2003 and in 2005 too).
