Soviet 7th Air Army
Hello,
I am looking for the units that made up the 7th Air Army during the summer offensive against Finland in 1944. I know the 13th Air Army had the following units: 113th Bomber Aviation Division - MGen M. V. Shcherbakov 276th Bomber Aviation Division - MGen A. P. Andreev 277th Assault Aviation Division - Col F. S. Khatminsky 281st Assault Aviation Division - Col S. E. Greskov 275th Fighter Aviation Division - Col A. A. Matveev 13th Recon Aviation Regiment 203rd Corrective-Recon Aviation Regt 283rd Fighter Aviation Regt 212th Medical Aviation Regiment 199th Seperate Aviation Supply Regt I was hoping to find out the same data for the 7th Air Army. Thanks, Mike |

Re: Soviet 7th Air Army
I'm not a specialist but IIRC 281st Assault Aviation Division was transferred from 14 VA to 13 VA in May 1944 and yes, VVS-KBF participated to the offensive against Finland.

Re: Soviet 7th Air Army
According to the BSSA (red army order of battle); 281 Assault division appears under the 13th air army in july 1944. It is listed under the 14th air army in june 1944
I Hope this helps. Henry |

Re: Soviet 7th Air Army
"
II Gv.IAK: 11 Gv.IAP 27 Gv.IAP 102 Gv.IAP 401 IAP " --> in Januar 1944: 11, 26,27,102,103GIAP were organized in 7IAK / PVO. Was this renamed to Guards IAK? BTW: 1'44 7IAK had 119 A/C = 19 La5, 19 Yak-7, 5 Spitfire, 21 P-40, 23 Hurricane (!), 18 P-40, 14 Yak-1. Means "II GvIAK" = "11" or "roman 2"? |

Re: Soviet 7th Air Army
II GIAK means 2nd GIAK (roman numeral '2') 7 IAK-PVO became 2 GIAK-PVO on 7/7/43 according to the site below:
