Does anyone know which Soviet VVS units and aircraft were involved in the bombing raids of the Bornholm Island on 7-8 May 1945? Were aircraft of the Baltic Fleet involved? Does anyone know where Soviet units operated from during the attacks? Gdańsk/Danzig area?

The raids were conducted by aircraft of the Baltic Fleet, including 9.ShAD, 8.MTAD, and 11.ShAD.

Thank you, are there any decent English language sources on the Red Banner Fleet air operations in WW2? I'm assuming the majority of the histories covering the subject are Russian.

Hi Chris,

Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any English-language sources on the Red Banner Fleet air operations in the Second World War. The Eastern Front air war has not received a great deal of attention from English-speaking aviation historians, and the Soviet side of the story even less than the German.
