Question The "new air forces" - are there books existing?

.
Do you know about good books or websites in connection with the "new air forces" established after the end of the Great War? In this case:

Poland
Czechoslovakia
Finland
Latvia
Lithuania
Estonai


I think that they mostly relied on what was available on their new territory during the first few months. Of special interest for me are the types of used aircraft, unit strength and organization (up to the early 1920's).

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello Volker,
There was an article by Jerzy B Cync about the war of independence of Poland 1920 in the magazine 'Le Fana de l'Aviation' (published in issues 169-171). I'll need to wait monday to scan the 17 pages (impossible from home).

Lists of aircraft captured or bought

Hi Volker,
please send me a message with a mail adress where I can send you the scan.
Meanwhile, here are a few listings of German and Austro-Hungarian planes (cpatured or bought) used during the 1920 War against Russia.
All you need is Google translation, I guess. Text contains french and british planes obtained thru' the allies.
Enjoy!

Hi Volker and Pedro.
The old catalogue of Blue Rider had booklet about Estonian, Lithuanian and Latvian air forces from 1918 to 1940 with decal sheets inside. I had some PDF scan of these. I'm interested too in the Fana article, for both my email is r.andervill@gmail.com.
Thank you!
Roberto

Arrow I just...

.
... had a look at the French pages you've sent me. Great information indeed!


Even if my French is in a rather pitiful state (I had lessons years ago in school), I still can get the meaning behind most of the texts, even if parts of the Grammar became a mystery for me during the past decades.

Anyway, thank you very, very much!
