Re: Tony Wood's Luftwaffe Eastern front list oddities

Kaki3152,

The Soviets received 10 Mustang 1s from the RAF in late 41 and early 42. They also acquired 14 later model P-51 from examples left behind by the USAAF after shuttle missions. I don't believe any combat missions were flown.
The P-47s only flew a handful of escort missions in the north with the 15 ORAP. I haven't read anything that suggests they engaged in air combat.
