S!
If want to read about IL-2 Sturmovik piloting at the front I can recommend Vasili B. Emelianenko's book "Red Star against the Swastika - The story of a Soviet pilot over the Eastern Front". Greenhill Books published the english version of it 2005.
This book has less of this idealised stuff in it and quite nicely tells about the life of IL-2 pilots and the plane so was a nice read. The quote of another IL2 engagement vs 109 someone posted in one thread was just the poo-poo I stay clear from.
