I'd like to make some missions for the 'Kursk' battle........
I have two sources for Russian Fighter Squadron organization.
One states that the squadron had 12 aircraft...... which was organized into
6 pairs. Another says that from 1943 on Russian squadrons had 10 aircraft,
organized into two flights of 5 aircraft each. One of the flights being led by the
squadron Co and the other flight led by the XO. This presumably was done to
make up for the rapid expansion of the Russian forces and the relative lack of
training the new pilots received.
Any ideas, sources?
