Soviet OOB Crimea 1944

[alessandro bray]

Hi,

I'm searching for a detailed (number of aircraft per single model) OOB of soviet air force during spring 1944 in Crimea.
Soviet VVS digest provides detailed information but unfortunately I don't read russian.
Very appreciated if someone can give the data
regards
alessandro

IIRC, ther eis no type-fine OOB for 1944 in the VVS digest.

So you have do some more then just translation. A small help: The crimean campaign was (concerning air support) executed by 4.VA, 8.VA and VVS-ChF.

Sorry, only now I understand fully... as you are "only" interested in a typefine OOB, I suggest to have a look at my website. There you can find a MS-Excel-table which contains one OOB for the Crimea-operation, ca. April 1944.

The data is based on some "research" I did with support from russian friends and is verified against various sources from the internet and literature. The types are subdivided in the planes available in "IL-2"-game.
