Mr Colvin
Have you looked at the US Air Force studies series and in particular study
175 U) The Russian Air Force in the Eyes of the German Commanders, by Walter Schwabedissen, edited by Edward P. Kennedy (1960). 434 pages.
It is interesting to read German thoughts on the Russians as presented to an American audience, but might get you further with your question about the VVS. Too much for me to summarise in a thread like this
Downloading the PDFs is free
