Hello Alex,

Thank you, I think this thread has become a very good bibliography of sources. I'll try to keep it going!

Ther is also a internet site that deals with B-29s during the Korean war that mentions a number of B-29 losses not mentioned in Korwald. There is also an osprey book on VVS Mig-15s during the Korean war.

Hello James,

Thank you for adding those details. As for the Internet site, do you mean the site below?

The publisher link for the Osprey book is below. This has allowed me to establish the name of that other Russian author, it's Yuriy Tepsurkaev. In a very strange twist, he is listed as the illustrator, not the author, of the Osprey title!

Here's an old article about B-29s in Korea I found in the process of looking for the B-29 loss list:
