I understood little of what was spoken and written, but it was still very informative.

We have one at the hangar on a shelf somewhere, circa WWII.  The translation job isn't the best, but for the most part it just doesn't translate well (not unique to Russian or any other combination of foreign languages and aviation lingo).  Some hilarious stuff within it though, and some that gives you a real apreciation if not an understanding to being a Russian pilot during WWII.
