2nd Flight (2. Lentue)
3rd Flight (3. Lentue)
The unit had an operational strength of 16 Messerschmitt Bf 109G-2s. It was later re-equipped with Bf 109G-6s. The unit had also one captured Hawker Hurricane Mk.IIA in its possession, but it never flew any operational sorties.
Nice, short and sweet.

PoistaThanks.
A little bit error is these list on
Spitfire mixed sometimes (begin) soviet new Lagg-3 airplane,
because spitfire gives many (rear body) idea and effect to soviet designers.
Another is Lightning. No any planes here, Finnish-Soviet line
These planes it's maybe soviet one own models, or FW-189 captured plane.
