So when talking about WW2 it is correct to use "Soviet"?
Well, I do not set historical standards...
But in my opinion, yes, "Soviet" is more appropriate, correct, logical for any year of the USSR's existence from 1922 to 1991.

Good to know, thanks.Well, I do not set historical standards...

The book mentioned by fubar is on-line.No thanks. I've searched the internet trying to find out and still haven't. If you run across it let me know.
Just guessing, a day (maybe two) from Buffalo to Great falls, then two days up to Alaska.
I'm certainly not going to disagree with Dimlee on this, but didn't the bolsheviks rename the large extent of territory ruled by them the USSR?
Dimlee, as a question that is certainly not meant to be confrontational, but wasn't the territory and peoples ruled by the USSR largely coincident with that of the Russian Empire (I'm not including the Warsaw pact countries; they did retain the same sort of sovereignty as, say, El Salvador)
New question, on the Catalinas with the beaching gear, how were they attached? I saw a diagram showing that it was bolted on but wondering was there only one attachment point? And it must have been quite a chore to put on the gear while the plane was till in the water
Depends on exactly what you're referring to. Somewhat like England and the United Kingdom. Soviet is the better 'catch-all' just in case you're referring to something that happens to be Belarusian, Ukrainian, etc. and not Russian.
Of course not.Am I the only one who stops in the middle of the street and looks up when hearing an airplane?
They don't understand what is important in life..... then why are people loking at ME when I'm looking up when I HEAR A PLANE ... in the middle of the road ?

...watching videos on one of Youtube aviation channels...They're wondering if you also notice the BMW being driven at a high rate of speed by somebody looking at their cell phone.
