LaGG & Lavochkin Aces of World War 2

Hello
IMHO the quality of Osprey books varied greatly, some are good some bad, I think it depends entirely on the writer. For example I think the G4M Betty book is very good and there are others.
On the other hand I think that Mellinger relies almost entirely on secondary Soviet/Russian sources and that is better keep in one's mind when reading his text, but there isn't yet too much literature on Eastern Front air war and Mellinger books give at least some info on that subject. And Mellinger isn't the only writer who relies on one sided sources, in many books on western subjects still for example pilots' claims are taken as sure victories.
