Re: Book on german planes used by USSR
From your description I think your mean:
Under the Red Star Luftwaffe Aircraft in the Soviet Airforce Carl-Fredrik Geust Airlife, 1993 1-85310-395-0 Hard Cover 168 You may also be interested in: Deutsche Spuren in der Sowjetischen Luftfahrtgeschichte Dimitri A. Sobolew Mittler & Sohn, 2000 3-8132-0675-0 Hard Cover 311 Carl-Fredrik Geust has written a whole series of books on this theme (Under the Red Star).

Re: Book on german planes used by USSR
No mention in either.
I think your main interest would be in the Geust book, the other title is more about German influence on Soviet design and some continued development and testing of German designs in the Soviet Union and the DDR. Pretty general little specific performance data.

Re: Book on german planes used by USSR
There is also a two volume work about this topic, published by German "Flugzeug" Verlag;
the books are called "Die deutschen Flugzeuge in russischen und sowjetischen Diensten" and both are written by authors Alexandrov and Petrov; they may be hard to get, but if you are interested, I think my local book dealer still has some available; AFAIK, both together retail for only 25 Euros, so if you are interested, let me know best regards phil ps.: here is a link to amazon.de for those books http://www.amazon.de/s/ref=nb_ss_w/0...0&Go.y=0&Go=Go |

I believe these two books mentioned by Griffon are available in English from Schiffer.

In Alexandrov and Petrovs book you have a couple of Fw 190 D-9 photos but no Ta 152's.

Re: Book on german planes used by USSR
Thank You very much to all of You !
I will look for those books ! I asked about the Ta 152 for two reasons...first, this is my favourite plane of that era, and second because i think its strange that such an advanced plane ( in regard of performances ) was not a cause of interest by the Russian... And more strange if You think that many factories dedicated to build this plane were located on East Germany ( Cottbus , Sorau , etc..) , were they fall into Russian hand... I am sure to have read , maybe in Harmann book about this plane , that on those factories there was many fuselages and parts ready to be assembled , but could not because on the rapid advance of Russian forces.... So , i thought that maybe on that book "should" have any kind of note about this plane. It's a sin that there's no informations about this plane , that come from the Russian archives..... Who know...maybe in the future ! In the meantime i wait ( ..and wait...and wait..) for the Monogram Vol. 4 dedicated to this outstanding plane ! Let's hope that he will be shipped in december '06 for real.... Thanks ! Best regards to all AA |

A number of German planes was handed over to Czechoslovakia, including Doras, Me 262 etc. Soviets were not interested in German planes for real service (waiting for own modern jet fighters - MiG-9, Yak-15, MiG-15), but more they were interested in German techs and industry.
