Onboard aircraft — Soviet Black Sea Fleet — June 1941
Greetings!
I am looking for the type and number of aircraft assigned to the capital ships of the Black Sea Fleet.
Aircraft in the Shipboard Detachment on 22 June 41: 7×MBR-2, 5×KOR-1, 2×KR-1.
The KR-1 were obsolete, and apparently no longer in use. Possibly training aircraft?
At first, I though the light cruisers could be planeless, but the few photographs I have seen shows a catapult and a large crane. It's likely the aircraft were ashore
My guess:
CA Krasny Kavkaz (1×KOR-1)
CA Voroshilov (1×KOR-1)
CA Molotov (1×KOR-1)
CL Krasny Krym (1×KOR-1 ?) — [ship under repair]
CL Chervona Ukraina (1×KOR-1)
But, which are the ones stationed on the
BB Parizhskaya Kommuna (1 or 2×?) ?
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Cheers
