Hungarian Fighters on July 26 1944

I am certainly not exchanging hard words. I am basically trying to get to the bottom of a problem. It is all too easy to refer to books or sources written in your own (odd) language that no-one except those few outside your own community understands. I am checking a statement by a well known Hungarian aviation writer now contested by Csaba. What is wrong with that?

Also when Csaba obviously talked about the WHOLE Osprey production, I was talking about the aces series of books, and especially those written about the Eastern European countries in WW 2, incidentally all of whom I find very interesting. I do agree with Csaba when he comments on the Osprey unit histories. I have seen a few and only bought those with odd topics, such as the one about USAAF transport units in the Far East. Most seems to be a re-hash of already published info. Probably pretty valid for those having nothing else on the subject.

Back to Molnar. It would be interesting to know why Punka continued to publish his error about Molnar's Lib/P-38 victory. First in a Hungarian book about the 109 and then in the Osprey aces book! Couldn't no one have told him? Was the discovery of the correct details so recent that it was unknown at the time the aces book was written?? Or, alas, is Punka a man difficult to correct???

Incidentally Csaba, I could not locate any attachment to your mail...

Cheers
