Hello Andy,

many thanks for your review / warning. Perhaps just two very short points:

- no book about Soviet aces published so far can be considered reliable - they are all based on "old" data - memoirs, doubtful secondary sources (very often "slightly" changed for propaganda purposes). I am afraid we all have to wait till the group of researchers around Mikhail Bykov publishes their book on Soviet aces based on information from Russian archives
- Heinrich Wefers of 4./JG 54 was not killed in July 1945, but already on 18.5.1945 on the Channel front, most likely a victim of Duane Beeson of 4th FG USAAF.

Hope this helps a little,

Ota
