Helping the GermansBy NakitaFlying the Re.2000 early in the war; the Hungarians were holding on by a thread. Being equipped with the Bf-109 a little later in the war; the Hungarians found more success with the new fighter. Taking on dreaded Russian planes such as the Yak-9; La-5 and La-7.These pilots fought gallatly against overwhelming odds from US and Russian fighters. Having to retreat from base to base throughout the war; the Hungarians fought to the finish (or almost).'Hungarian aces of WW2' is a joy to read. I read this book for 2 or 3 days; and I enjoyed every minute of it.This book explains about the Hungarians who fought in Russia with the Germans in '42 to the Home Defence in '44-'45. Attacking American B-24s; B-17s; P-51s; P-47; P-38s. Also Russian Il-2s; La-5; La-7s and Yak-9s. It's a wonder the Hungarians could have fought so many with so little.This book has 83 pages of everything. But I did notice that there were no first hand accounts; so if you enjoy reading battles from pilots; this might disappoint you. Still; this book is a good read. I am pleased to see Osprey publish books about little countries that fought in WWII.1 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Must haveBy Scott BaileyThis book tells the histories of different air aces of the Hungarian air force and the aircraft they flew. The history of the airforce and units are also mentioned. When the Hungarian air force recieved the better of german equipment the kill ratio went up. The Hungarian gave a good account of themselves with a high kill ratio by the end of the war for such a small air force.
