Pilots have always been elite, young and gambling. As Hussars, at the time when the "horses" have not been the iron. Gambling often brightened up leisure aviators. Ace - the highest card in the deck. Pilots put on his suit in a deadly game with the opponent and win, or die ... Ace in almost all European languages ​​seem to pronounce - ac.
First dug on the aircraft of the Red Army: it was interesting - and our pilots were able to portray his credo on the body of the aircraft? After all, the strength of the ideological insanity official heraldry in the Air Force either before the war or after was not. Ideologists did not realize that the coat of arms of the regiment, division, squadron raises morale, it is a source of pride and so on.
However, during the war, appeared in parts of its symbolism. So, in the squadron of the 9th Guards, commanded by Alexei Alelyuhin all aircraft carrying the image on both sides of the leopard, tearing the heart - a clear allusion to the fact that the pilots of the 9th Giap had to meet from 9 Staffel JG 52. The aircraft differed from the rest Alelyuhina Squadron in red hood that pilots can easily calculate their commander in battle.

A different perception of figures - and commanders and subordinates - it was in other parts of the belligerent powers.
Heart was pierced by the arms 9 / JG 52, and applied to many of the squadron, at least since the beginning of 1942. At the heart was an inscription «Dicker Max», which Hartmann later replaced the «Ursel». By the way, an example was contagious, and many pilots of the squadron began to write the names of their loved ones. And the word "Karajan-1" was the ninth squadron commander callsign (usually command vehicle had tail number "1"). Before Hartmann they enjoyed all the other commanders such as Mr. Graf. Having become commander of the group, Hartmann could not use this call sign and amend the picture on the board: only the heart with the inscription «Ursel».

Interesting story of 41 GvIAP: ... & quot; in our regiment arrived a group of artists from Kiev, drew our top fliers. My commander posed directly in front of his plane in the parking lot. Drawing and other pilots. And one of the pilots take it and ask the artist: "You are a lion I can draw on the board?" "Of course I can." And painted. Leo turned out just lovely sight. Then the other pilots with requests: "I am an eagle. I bear. " My commander and asks, "And I can draw the hell?" It turns out it is possible and hell. He portrayed his characteristic brown color, but this "this chertyaka." On the tail, horns, face and snide bottle in his paws.
So, our combat mission was the first after Lobanov this feature to paint. The projectile hit it in this hell! Only the horns so the tail, and the rest - a hole. And we went to the shelf is a belief that the devil is not joking, and drawings by plane is better not to be, they're kind of like shells attract.

Captain GN Urvachёv no idea how his work will treat the enemy.
Returning from German pilots flying -111 Do not spread the rumor that on the outskirts of Moscow, they were met by an armada supersamolёtov "Tiger" (it was 1941-42 and the tanks of the same name from the Nazis was not). But the fact that the Moscow District Air Defense pilots flew all the same MiG-3, high-altitude fighter, used as interceptors. "Worked" on the conscience! From July 1941 to April 1942 it was recorded 134 German air raid on Moscow, which was attended by about 9,000 aircraft. Of these, only 2, 6% penetrated to Moscow. 1076 enemy aircraft were shot down in aerial combat. As a result of air raids in Moscow in 1356 killed people, destroyed 2 167 homes and businesses - all destroyed and damaged by 0, 03% of the city buildings. After April 1942 the German High Command refused to raids on Moscow.
The German historian Karl Reinhardt writes that & quot; ... the air defense of Moscow was so strong and well organized, the German pilots thought raids on the Russian capital more dangerous and risky than raids on London & quot ;.
