Hemut Lipfert & Werner Girbig - The War Diary of Hauptmann Helmut Lipfert - The JG52 on the Russian Front - 1993 Shiffert Publishing LTD - ISBN 0-88740-446-4
Simply a GREAT book, only comparable to Clostermann’s and Jhonnie Johnson’s. The war theathre is the same we are flying on IL-2. The author is perfectly describing not only combat and dogfight, but also engine and plane management. Absolutely worth to read
