Re: Rjelbitzi airfield

Laurent -

Yes, in and out on an almost constant basis in Gruppe, Staffel, Schwarm and Kette strength. But they were not really based there permanently. JG 54's primary station was at Siverskaya and a few others. Ryelbitsy was basically a pit stop landing ground for gas, ammo and short term occupancy. It lacked the infrastructure necessary to support a Gruppe or Staffel over the long term.
