I think I've read minor refferences to them before. It was a good read and very informative for me. I also like to see that some of our 2nd line fighter planes did well when not out numbered. From what I read, the russians really like some of our fighters. They usually took out a few of the machineguns and lightened up the plane. Also, good tactics and pilot skills play a big role in who sees another day.
