New Russian book on air ops during battle of Kursk
Vitaliy Gorbac
Nad ognennoi dugoi. Sovetskaya aviatsia v Kurskoi bitve. Moskva 2007, ISBN 978-5-699-20867-8 small format, hardcover, 500+ pages Just reading through it and it is very well researched, mainly based on stuff from Russian archives, with interesting appendices. No photographs. Time period 5.7.1943 - 23.8.1843 Earlier book from this author on the subject - Dmitiy Khazanov/Vitaliy Gorbac Aviatsia v bitve nad Orlovsko-Kurskoi dugoi Moskva 2004, ISBN 5-902011-07-8 large format, hardcover, 200 pages Much recommended. regards, Pawel

Re: New Russian book on air ops during battle of Kursk
They should start translating more such books into English. Especially since many such books have ridiculously small print runs for a nation with 140 million people. Some Russian aviation books have print runs of 150 COPIES!

Re: New Russian book on air ops during battle of Kursk
Absolutely agree Jukka. It's so frustrating to know books on a subject are available, but only in another language.
My real love of aviation is WWI. And in particular the Aviation Militaire (the French Air Service). The number of books on the subject (in English) is extremely limited. Almost all published material deal's with either with the RFC or the GAF. Yet in French there are literally 100's - historical studies, specific campaigns, autobiographies, biographies, novels, collections of first-hand stories and so on. Drives me potty!

Re: New Russian book on air ops during battle of Kursk
Jim,
It depends on the publishers, as always (many publisher prints just waste, the 1000th book about the same, old boring stuff without any new info, but doesn't dare to translate high quality, well researched publications)

Re: New Russian book on air ops during battle of Kursk
Fortunately, for us non-Russian readers, Christer Bergstrom is also writing a book on the same subject, titled "Kursk: The Air Battle". See here http://www.bergstrombooks.elknet.pl/kurskbook.htm
Interesting to note that you rate a mention Pawel!

Re: New Russian book on air ops during battle of Kursk
Jim, it was a nice gesture on Christer part. The subject is the same but timeframe would probably be different.
