>Коллеги, у кого есть книга В.Швабедисена в переводном издании Минск Харвест сличайте (если можете) с оригиналом.
>При сличении интересующего меня кусочка получилось, что из перевода кое-что уплыло, а именно (выделено):
>Mig 1-3 (also known as I-200, I-61, I-18),Yak 1 (I-26), Lagg 3 (I-301) Aircraft.
>These more modern aircraft, which appeared in steadily increaeing numbers from autumn 1941 on, are more favorably evaluated in a report of the 54 th Figter Wing, although the German Bf 109F was considered superior to them.
>The Mig aircraft (I-18) showed better climbing and speed performance than the Rata, but it was not as maneuverable as the Bf 109F. It is to be presumed that rudder pressures were heavy in these aircraft at high speeds, since they were then very maneuverable. The planes easily caught fire if hit from any direction.
>The Yak model was considered the best Soviet fighter plane. It had even better climbing performance and was faster than the I-18, and approached the performances of the Bf 109F although it was not as fast. It was more difficult to set on fire in attack from the rear than was the Mig 3. Up to19,100 feet it still climbed well but showed poor maneuverability. For this reason, pilots encountered at these altitudes dived down to avoid combat.
>Т.е. в оценках немцев МиГ стал уступать всем Ме-109, а не только Ме-109Ф, и пропало немецкое утверждение, что МиГ уступал Яку в скорости.
А в чем, соб-сно, проблема-то? В не совсем точном переводе или во мнении одного Швабедисена (но НЕ ВСЕХ немцев!) образца 1960 года?
