Re: Stalingrad Air Raid
The rough answer might be:
Becasue the VVS was totally exhausted: 1) Bad planes (Il-2 w/o rear gunner, early LaGG3, L&L-Hurricane, very old reserve-I-16 etc) ... 2) ... delivered only in unsufficient numbers during the summer, because of moving the whole industry towards the "safe areas". 3) After huge losses in 1941 already, most pilots were very unexperienced. 4) Ongoing changes in organizational structures towards the new system of Air Armies, which were independent from the ground forces' "Fronts".
