Hi, can one of the specialists from this site help me with the following? Researching colours and markings for use in IL-2 Sturmovik and have lots of problems with dating / assigning skins to units and pilots. Last one is the P-39N of Maj. Vasili Sirotin, according to the desription he is in 17 IAP. Only according to PGMonsters site
http://wio.ru/simbols/iap.htm the 17th IAP was renamed to 485 IAP in Januari '42. This 485th was renamed to 72 GIAP in March '43. And only in June '43 was this unit operational on the P-39. Hope someone can shed some light on this or point me to a non-Russian book that explains these matters.
