Kharkov-42... and authorship rights violation

[Andrey Dikov]

At first – a small announcement about AIR MAG HORS-SÉRIE No.3 (French Air Magazine):

http://www.aerostories.org/~aerobibl...d_article=1138

There a research work of Dmitriy Karlenko and Vlad Antipov about combats between Luftwaffe and Soviet AFs during Battle for Kharkov in 1942 was published.

And there is a big fly in the barrel of this honey: in this issue a name of Vlad Antipov, a co-author, was missed at all.

Vladislav Antipov had made a thorough archive research for this book in TsVMA (Podolsk), which let the story to be reconstructed with a help of Soviet operational documents never seen before on public. As far as Vlad was a fullright co-author of the work, and Dmitry Karlenko clearly informed the publisher about this fact, such a negligence is just outrageous.

It’s just a pure authorship rights and copyright violation. I don’t think it's acceptable in Europe.

TOCH is a public place for Luftwaffe and other aviation researchers and we should know about such sad facts.

Vlad is my friend and I think I should tell about that. I hope I haven't offended innocents.
