Soviet Far North Order of Battle 1942
Hi guys

I am endeavouring to compile Far North Orders of Battle for the Soviet air forces at the various quarters of 1942.

Any information appreciated.

Cheers
Brian

Hello Brian
I 'll post a scan from a Finnish book (Valtonen's LWn Pohjoinen Sivusta, 1997) when I'll have time to reconnect my scanner, hopefully tomorrow. It gives the Soviet strenght up North, that of the VVS SF on 1 May 42 and those of 14th A AF and PVO on 22 Apr 42.

Hello Brian
pages 176 and 177 of the earlier mentioned book, the note says that the source(s) is/are the letter from Juri Rybin [the author of Ospreys Soviet Hurricane Aces; Juha] on 5 June 1996, a map constructed from archive material.

Hi Juha

Great stuff - something to get my teeth into!

I can't find Montshegorsh - is that a Finnish name for Russian location?

OK -JUST FOUND IT - SLIGHT MISSPELLING!

Cheers
Brian

Hello Brian
Finns traslitterate cyrillics slightly differently than Englismen e.g. Jakovlev vs. Yakovlev.
