Post by: John Thompson on March 15, 2011, 10:41:43 PM Thanks, KL - I looked briefly at the home page for the retrospicere.narod.ru site, hoping to find other similar books, but didn't find very much.
This might be of interest - a letter dated June 17, 1941, regarding factory defects in the MiG-1 and MiG-3 and their effects in service - note that this was only a few days before the start of Operation Barbarossa! http://translate.google.com/translate?js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&sl=ru&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fretrospicere.narod.ru%2F John |
