Re: VVS:What kind of unit is a OAZ?

Thomas,

Found a reference on www2.warwick.ac.uk dealing with Numbered Soviet Aviation Factories 1921-1941 that from 1965 on OAZ was the abbreviation for "Omskii Aviazavod".

Originally built in 1941 as an aircraft engine factory, it also made bombers and fighters during WW 2. Factory # 166.
