New project - WW2 in the Air
I'm happy to announce my new idea - open informational project "World War 2 in the Air" - http://www.ww2air.com
What is this? First of all, it is WW2 airforces diary. Every meaningfull event, historical point I would like to be reviewed there. Different battlefields, different countries, day by day, how it was. I think, from the timeline point of view it will be very exciting to see. Second of all, it is projects of facts. Eveything there is pure facts, with sources mentioned. No opinions, no "I think". Only facts. Third, what I like the most. It is open project. So if you have some information you think will fit this diary, you are mostly welcome to send it to be published, or to become constant editor of the site. I will publish list of active editors here, in addition to the fact, that every post has its author published, so nobodys efforts will stay unmentioned. Today project already have two active authors - me (Pavel) and Olli (osuorsa), great thanks and appreciation goes to him from my side. So, everybody, who wants to write aviation history together with us - you are mostly welcome!

similar cases
A friend of mine (for United Airlines) years ago was looking for restorable FW-190 and one good wreck was found not far from Finnland in Russia.
However finally he got another frtom a Norwegian fjord. BTW.: In my childhood I have seen some of those flying with red stars on them in Hungary near Veszprem. Must have been captured ones, but put in service in the Soviet Air Force. Few years after WW II. I have found Sturmoviks in the swamp near Szekesfehervar. Ammo-belts for the guns, etc. still in the wreck. BTW: I enclose a photo about a Russian soldier's grave in Zsambek, Hungary from WW II. Why is it interesting? Because his death was four month AFTER the whole territory of Hungary was under Soviet Army's control. And Zsambek (near Budapest) was taken much earlier than that! I wonder if any archives can find out how did he die...
