Re: Why DB-3f is counted as one of the old types on 22 June 41?
I would argue that the SB-2, being out of production and contemporary with the Blenheim and Do.17, should be counted as an "old" type. Similarly the DB-3, which is comparable to the He 111, itself no spring chicken. All air forces operate a mix of old and new, but in this case we do see a distinct wave of modernisation, and hence the simplified terminology.
Perhaps had the Me 210 proven successful, then we would have had a similar Luftwaffe comparison between the 110/87/17 old types, and the 88/210/177 new boys, but as it happened the Luftwaffe forces were more homogeneous (sp?) that the VVS.
