Does the author make it possible also to verify all damaged Soviet aircraft during this period, even lightly so? I can only assume that Soviet/Russian loss documents are appx just as correct as their Western/German counterparts (they simply had to be), but when it comes to damaged it seems only the Germans were very good at recording that (or is it because they have been more and better studied/published?). You do mention damaged aircraft but is it possible for you to be more exact what Ivan has written?

I have never seen a Soviet/Russian loss document and even if I did I would not be able to understand it, but it would be interesting to see how Russian historians are tackling the damaged issue, even those only slightly hit.

I also echo Dénes point, that a lot more from the Soviet/Russian side needs to be both published and translated. The task is of course immense, but if it does not there will "forever" be an unbalanced history with the "West" coming out in front.

Cheers
