Re: 96. OIAE VVS BF
Hi Mirek,
From what I have on VMF BSF I do not find any UTI-4 or U-2 in the list of aircraft, which is odd. The 3rd URAP only lists SB-2 (11), I-15bis (10) and I-153 (6). Denes Bernard quotes a strength for VMF BSF as 624 aircraft. He does not show all the units I have on my list but for for those we both have the numbers and types of aircraft match. Kalashnikov gives the strength as 636. I have identified 725 aircraft including units I found in Lennart Anderson's work on the VMF. The UTI-4 and U-2' might have been attached to the regiments themselves as they often were in the Army aviation units. But if you find out more I would like to know.
Regards
Oquaig
