Re: Photo identification

Hi
The I-16 are early types no 5, the photos are from early period of Barbarossa VI-VII 1941 and should be captured on Western Special Miliatry District or less probably in Kiev SMD.

Baltic Special Miliatry Distric is also less possoble the I-16 and I-153 had other tactical number and painted finns. There are also many photos from this area too, done by crews of JG 54.

The row of I-153 comming from the same period as other I-153, and this photo is from Kiev Secial Military District (I even have in my collection a photo from this field but other picture), the other I-153 are from Western or Kiev SMD.

Any futher details about exact airfield location I can not yet find (but in the future, why not, :-) ).

Regards
Mirek Wawrzyński

from Poland, where quite many of these planes were captured in the 1-st weeks of Barbaorssa
