Re: Lipezk (Lipetsk) flying shool
Major a. D. Stahr was commander 1924 to 1930; the station had gone by Sept. 1933. It had comprised a staff group, observer squadron, fighter squadron, observer training course and fighter training course.
It served as both a military flying school and testing base for military aircraft and was about 250 m. SSW of Moscow. Some 450 ( mostly officers) were trained there.
It's descibed in Hanfried Schliephake's book " The birth of the Luftwaffe" ( 1971).
