"22.06.41, combat actions of Soviet Bombers" - article of M.Timin

[Evgeny Velichko]

Hi gents!

In russian air magazine "Aviapark", 2/2010, was published a new article of Mikhail Timin, "22.06.41, combat actions of Soviet Bombers".

Article covers all air-to-air and mainly air-to-ground actions of Soviet bomber units (SB, R-Z, Su-2) of ZapVO and PribVO against Gr.Arm. "Nord" and "Center", on 22 june 1941.

Author worked several years on that article, and widely used russian archives. Also, for cover Luftwaffe fighters, he used Dr.J.Priens two volumes.

There is many quotes of Combat Orders for Bombers units and Regiments, full list of losses, many (all existed in archives) combat reports of soviet pilots and commanders.

I said to Mikhail, that this great info MUST be published in English, because before his work, actions of bomber regiments on early days of war were known very little here, in Russia, and not covered in West at all! In the West, all what was known only claims and reports of Luftwaffe fighter pilots (like Molders, for example, when he said about soviet bombers).

Mikhail agreed. He said, that article, published in Aviapark was very cut, so he will be happy to publish full article in the West. Also, he want to continue that serie with further actions of soviet bombers on whole 1941.

The main problem - his knowledge of English is = 0.

So, are there any Western Airwarfare Magazine, wich wants to publish this unique article (series of articles)? How he could contact with that publishers?
