Re: Soviet aviation fuel: More bang for the buck or the ruble?
Just an aside, but some accounts of the 617 Squadron raid on Tirpitz in September 1944 from Yagodnik near Archangel include statements that there was no high octane fuel available when the Lancasters first arrived. It had to be 'sourced' and brought to the airfield, which gave more time for the RAF aircrew toservice and prepare their aircraft. The weather was poor and would have prevented the raid taking place in the first few days anyway but had it been good weather there would have been a delay for lack of correct fuel.
