Soviet Long Range Aviation during the war
Hi, there!
I'd like to know exact composition of Soviet LRA (Dalnaya Aviatsiya) forces during 1941-45 time period. Unfortunately up to now I only found it was equipped mainly with Pe-8, Yer-2 and Il-4 (DB-3) bombers and was rather marginal part of Soviet war effort exactly as on the German side. However Red LRA carried out some strategic air rides over Germany and other Axis countries in limited scope and its bombers participated in frontline operations, too. Also Soviets had quite clever concept of bomber's propulsion i.e. diesel engines which theoretically could give them much improved flight parameters. Do you know something about all that issues?
