Anybody know a good online resource that talks about Russian fighter tactics vs the 109? Thanks! VSB

Once upon a time there was a great online resource for the Finnish Air Force, which had bios of the aces and lots of descriptions of air combat against the Soviets in both the Winter and Continuation Wars, which would at least describe Soviet tactics from the opponent's point of view. But damned if I can find it now; back in the late 1990s I printed off everything I could find, but that won't help you… I'll search a bit more for it.

Check out the Ubisoft IL2 Sturmovik forums. There is a remarkable amount of interesting historical material in the archives. B
