Re: 515th IAP and intensity of air combat
Keith,
They were in action starting from October 1941, as part of 2 RAG (Reserve Air Group) (Writing from my memory, do not have the book at hand now). 515 IAP's parent 12 IAP started combat activities earlier in summer.
In 1941 they were also equipped with Yak-1s. Resumed flying Yak-1s in 206 IAD and 268 IAD in 1942. Reequipped with Yak-7b as part of 227 ShAD and 294 IAD in 1943.
