And a French Aviation magazine on the other hand is reliable?
While not countering your point, I think the real OOB would give value to your opinion, not the glossy paper.
If you understand what do you want to mean, i don't. Precise your mind.
First, there were overclaim everywhere and everytime during WWII, it's not a scoop owerdays. It was just the Hartmanns turn in Fana 423.
Secund, in Fana n° 451, Vladimir Kotelnikov, translated by A Nikolsky wrote about Airacobra career in USSR in only 15 pages. So nobody asked him to send the whole soviet OOB for each day from june 41 to may 1945!!! I think he's a big boy enough to count P-39 regiments by himself inside the guenine soviet document. I don't see moreover the plus value if he was sending the complete OOB with dozens pages and hundreds regiments in russian and let the reader search inside...
Third, the french magazine is at least far more reliable than Hartmann claims or Wiki...
BTW.Have you got any reliable dutch magazine to advice to us?
