I can't seem to find info on nationalarchives.gov.uk for 130 and 41 Squadrons in 23 and 24 April, related to Elbe patrols. Just the northern Germany patrols

I remember reading about Belgian Spitfires meeting some Soviet Yaks over Berlin, too, near that date.
What I'm actually trying to find if there was a point in which Soviets and Western Allied (air)forces fought together, as the allies they were, in late war. Besides Frantic/Titanic I've read...
So, the Yak and Spitfire encounters were actually separated events. And it seems there weren't Mustangs involved.
Andrew, tangentially related, can I ask you which, if any, detachments of I./JG11 operated from the streets of Berlin?

Hi!
I guess you may all know this absolutely great page
Soviet Armed Forces 1945-1991
This got me interested in info about specific variants of aircraft used by the Soviet Air Force. For example, here

Yak-9 vs Yak-9M or Yak-9D.
I'm having trouble...
Well, first of all, I wanted to say hello. I've been lurking for a while, learning a lot.
Now, as I couldn't find some info I was looking for, I want to ask you, the experts, about some regiments of the Soviet Airforce. In fact, I want to ask about a lot of regiments, but I think that would be a...
