The Soviet Air Force (VVS) in WW2 with Lend Lease

Post by MKSheppard »

I just found the following awesome site here

Lend Lease Air Force.ru

which has a buttload of articles translated by James Gebhardt; who is a published translator.

You may know him from the following works

Attack of the Airacobras: Soviet Aces, American P-39s and the Air War Against Germany by Loza
Blood on the Shores: Soviet Naval Commandos in World War II by Victor Leonov
Commanding the Red Army's Sherman Tanks: The World War II Memoirs of Hero of the Soviet Union Dmitriy Loza
Fighting for the Soviet Motherland by Loza

Anyway, the site seems to concentrate heavily on lend lease aspects of the air war; one article extensively covers the RAF's operations in Russia: RAF Hurricanes in Russia
"If scientists and inventors who develop disease cures and useful technologies don't get lifetime royalties, I'd like to know what fucking rationale you have for some guy getting lifetime royalties for writing an episode of Full House." - Mike Wong

"The present air situation in the Pacific is entirely the result of fighting a fifth rate air power." - U.S. Navy Memo - 24 July 1944
