Title: MiG-3 of 180 IAP, Borki airfield Post by: Massimo Tessitori on August 26, 2014, 07:46:24 AM This excellent unpublished photo shows many Soviet pilots and ground crew with different styles of uniforms.
I have slightly faded the background to give the idea of a slight mist. The aircraft and the pilots are of 180 IAP (later made a Guard regiment as 30 GIAP), 6 IAK PVO. They landed at Borki airfield, near Moscow, on 17 October 1941. The photo was probably shot on late October or November 1941.
