Re: Lessons Learned Pre-War Conflicts
To a degree yes.
But upon reading Polikarpov I-15, I-16 and I-153 Aces by Mikhail Maslov, its quite evident that the majority of pilots who flew in Spain, China and Khalkhin Gol and Finland survived. And we are talking significant numbers here, well into the thousands. And many had gained reasonably senoir positions (at Squadron and Group level) by the start of the Great Patriotic War.
So the skill level was there in 1941. But the tactics were not.
