VVS Western Front OOB Mid-July 1941
The VVS Western Front fought vs. Luftflotte 2 in the battles around Smolensk in July 1941. Does anyone have an OoB of this soviet Air Front for that timeframe? If possibel, at the beginning of teh battles, as numbers on both sides dropped so rapidly and I have german "early" figuers for comparison.
Thanks! |

Thanks, Michal! This is definitely good as a start.
Afaik, there was - a Yak-equipped test-pilot-IAP under a Mr. Suprun and - at least one Il2-ShAP whic stopped a german tank-column w/o losses involved in these fights . These are not listed in your files... |

Thank, Henry. This data fits into the picture, but doesn't help me because no numbers and types are given... anyway, one can see a development when it comes to units.
