Re: Soviet Hurricanes - where, when, ...?
Key words here are "Stalingrad battle". Other regiments did not live long to be combat ready for the Stalingrad battle.
Yes it is the key word, I think the day of begining of "Fall Blau" was the begining of operation for "capturing" Stalingrad (28 VI 1942). The first phase to capture Voronez, nextr to Don river (Don's bend) and later towards Stalingard. For me this is the period of begining the battle + phases. So it was the first pahse battle for Stalingard of capturing in Novyj Oskol railway stattion a few Hurricanes (2 at least) by German + Hungarian troops + 1 LaGG-3 more. Planes were damaged after belly landing.
Charkov's battle was earlier, a little bit.
С 10.09.1942 г. входила в состав 1-го иак."
This info comming from Vasiliy Kharin's site.
