Guess you think the real 'Moon Landings' were filmed in Death Valley, too.
The 77th was real and they were brave men who fought and died to defeat the Nazis even if their so called Soviet allies were just as bad in the long run.
Have you gone to that webpage and looked at it, wiseacre?
Here is a cut and paste of part of this page http://www.777avg.com/roe/
Q. What voice communication software does the squadron use and where can I find the connection information?
A. We use Team Speak as our main voice communication utility. We have a permanent TS server hosted by a third party. As a backup we can use Roger Wilco. Connection information can be found in our Pilot Forum in the War Room.
I've got very strong doubt that there was ever an American Volunteer Group in the Soviet Union. I have zero doubt that the webpage giving its "history" is part of some sim, and was put together by some guy who wanted a reason to have Yanks flying in a sim of Soviet Aircraft on the Eastern Front. The sim is called IL-2 Sturmovik, and here is a link to the IL-2 Sturmovik community: http://www.webring.com/t/IL-2-Sturmovik-Forgotten-Battles-Pacific-Fighters?sid=5
A few questions, if the fake 777 webpage is accurate, or at least accurate enough for Dan Rather.
If there was an AVG in the Soviet Union, and the Soviets, unlike the Chinese, had a domestic aircraft industry, and their own pilots, why weren't the pilots returned to serve the United States, as happened with the AVG pilots in China and Burma? China needed AVG pilots a lot worse than Stalin did, but after Pearl Harbor, they were brought back into our service, not all of them willingly.
Who supplied these Yanks with all the hard liquor and dollars the history mentions, while they were at Stalingrad?
They fought, without being rotated home, or sent reinforcements, from December 1941, to May, 1945, and suffered only 30% dead among the pilots? Given the weather in the Soviet Union, that would a heck of a record, even if no one was shooting at them.
If the were a fighter group, how did they just happen to have enough C-47s hanging around to evacuate everyone to American lines in May, 1945?
How many kills did LTC Mitty get?
