Re: Soviet Hurricanes - where, when, ...?

BTW

First
I have forgotten to add, that there is also quite good book made a few years ago by C-F Geust, Red Star 4, (the Leand-Lease planes in VVS RKKA service). There are some interesting details about Soviet Hurricanes (small part but there is). Rather general, not so focused on combat's use, anyway useful + plenty photos of Allied planes including Hurricanes one.

Second
In the end of 2005, I had made such "comparnision" about air combats fought between FAF's Brewster and Soviet's Hurricanes on the "Northern Front" in 1942-1943 - including Karelian Front and over Baltic against 3. GIAP VVS KBF too.

This story is only in Polish, photos have English captions. The title is:
Brewster Model 239 (F2A-1) kontra/versus Hawker Hurricane Mark II, p. 7 (14 b&w, 4 colour sides: 2 Berwster Model 239 BW-371, BW-364 and 2 Hurricane Mk II), [in:] Militaria XX wieku 6(9)/2005.
