About the book >.>.> Following the unexpected American air raid against Rumania by 13 B-24 ‘Liberator’ bombers on 12 June 1942 (the so-called ‘Halverson Project’ or ‘HALPRO’) it became obvious to Berlin what Sofia had demanded for some time: the air defence of Bulgaria needs to be strengthened. At that time the most modern fighter aircraft the Bulgarians had were the handful of Messerschmitt Bf 109Es a type which was already pass? by then by the latest standards. The Emils were complemented by hopelessly outdated Avia B.534 biplanes as well as the similarly obsolete Polish P.24s and German pre-war Heinkel He 51s and Arado Ar 65s – these two types being used only as trainers.
