Re: Forthcoming book - Dragons on Bird Wings A Combat History of the 812th"Sevastopol"IAP

Got this book some time ago and have skimmed through it and have now begun to read it in more detail.

The book must be highly recommended, not only to people with a particular interest in VVS, but for students of the Luftwaffe as well. It is very interesting to finally havign a book devoted to the Soviet pilots, their experience and the fate of a VVS unit through hard and intense fighting.

The profiles are excellent, with lots of detail information and the line drawings (12 pages of them) are among the best I have ever seen. The appendices are also very interesting, especially when comparing the claims and losses with their German counterparts.

Congratulations on a fantastic book,
