we can see here yet again how planes were assigned to pilots. It is relevant to discussion about Suhov's (beloved) "personal" Airacobra: ─ В вашем полку самолеты были закреплены за конкретным летчиком, или на задание летали на исправном на данный момент самолете? У меня был свой самолет, но бывало, если мой был неисправен, мог сесть и в другой самолет. Но такое было очень редко. У меня был свой хороший механик Костя, потом другой, тоже хороший специалист? От механика много зависит. Not mentioned here, but if commander assigned Radchenko's Yak to some other pilot, the other pilot would fly it. Depends how you want to understand this: Massimo would say that Radchenko had a "personal (beloved) plane". Then, Radchenko also had a "personal mechanic"...

I had my plane, but sometimes if I was dead, and could not sit in a different plane. But this was very rare. I had my good mechanic bone, then the other, also a good specialist ... From Mechanics depends. The plane, the same motor. And the pilot depends, of course, operation.

Q: In your regiment, were the planes assigned to specific pilots or you flew planes that were available at the moment? A: I had my plane, but sometimes if my plane was serviced, I could sit in a different plane. But this was very rare. I had a good mechanic Kostya, then the other one, also a good specialist ... A lot depend on the mechanic. The plane is the same as the engine. Operational use depends on pilot. HTH, KL |
