A few days ago (January 2005) was edited in Poland my second part about “The Day of Armagedon - 22 VI 1941”. Smashing the Stalin’s Air Power.
The story (II part) is edited in Militaria i Fakty 1/2005. All text in Polish, no any English captions (only Polish readers).
There are 16 pages of A-4 size (21 b&w photos + 8 colour drawing: 3xI-16 typ 5and 10, 1xI-15bis, 3xI-153, one map)
This is long article (full has more 130.000 signes). The first part has 10 1/2 A-4 pages + 13 b&w photos, 7 tables.
Now I have written about one day of air war over Russia - the first one (22 VI 1941). In this specific day Germans had smashed Stalins power including crashing the power of Red Air Force (about from 9.970 to 10.700 military planes standing along the whole Soviet Western border). This is one day air war “how did it look from the both side?”.
Germans premptive attack had stoppted and saved Western Europe before Reds invasion on July 1941. Soviets would destroy, rope the whole Continent if Hitler would not stoppted them.
This is the following part of “Red Blizkireg in July 1941” see Militaria i Fakty 2/2004 (17 A-4 size about 30 b&w photos, tables, 2 maps), edited in June 2004.
