| A sheet containing a number of reference photos of the LAs are printed on the back side of the rather detailed instructions. |

| Never heard of the Luftwaffe being terified of any Russian aircraft. They referred to the Il-2 Sturmovick as the Flying Tank because it was so heavily armored and was so difficult to bring down. However the Stormovick was a ground attack aircraft and I'm sure German troops on the ground may have feared it. |

| There was a fighter plane the russians had up graded. It had a cooler scoop under the front cowl and they moved it to the under belly of the aircraft.It was very small like the spitfire.The german pilots was told to avoid it if possible.I keep thinking it was a mig3 just not fore shore!I do remeber the L2 Sturmovick was excellent at hitting there tagets.It became there work horse stopping the tank divisons and troop movement.The russains did have some good aircraft at the time. |
