I greatly admire your work and enthusiasm Ruff. We had a go in sim last winter, but the ranks get slimmer and slimmer. We need new recruits!

I don't remember who worked out the templates we used to plan some of the missions we did, but if you can dig them up you're of course most welcome to use them if you find them usefull.

God speed on the reading and the planning mate!
[I myself are reading a three vol. (six planned and under development) series on the history of the norwegian spitfire-pilots stationed in England, Scotland and the Orkneys during 41 to 45. Good stuff for a norwegian... And I'm half way through Frankson&Zetterlings "Kursk - Historys greatets tankbattle". There's a few references to the contributions from the IL2's in there, but it's absolutely minimal, but I learned that the Ju87 the germans used there had mounted two 37mm cannons, one under each wing, to destroy russian tanks.]

Thanks McQ59! I've been fortunate to have such great guys participate in my historicals. As I've done more, I've been lucky enough to pick up more people along the way and so I'm very thankful to those guys!

As for reading, if you're reading up on Kursk, you might want to add Christer Bergstrom's, Kursk: The Air Battle: July 1943. Even though it mainly deals with the aerial engagements, he goes into almost as much detail about the ground battles as well. It'd be a great supplement to the one you're reading as you'd get a good picture of how both Air Forces influenced the battles as well! One of the biggest air battles in history takes place during the Battle of Kursk and it's all detailed in Bergstrom's book!
