Got to http://777avg.com/unithistory/ for more on the American Volunteer Group that went to Russia. I think the "777" is a make believe page for a guy who does Flight Sims. Click on the linkss, such as "cockpit."
The sim game appears to be IL-2.

I have a vague memory of reading a book about American pilots in WW2 Russia, might have been that unit.

That’s not a real outfit. It’s a group that flies the flight sim Il-2: Forgotten Battles—strictly fictional.

Great story. I never heard it before.
It's a good thing Ike ordered those guys 'out of Dodge' at the end, or they would have ended up in one of Stalin's Gulags (or worse) like other Allied GIs who fell into Soviet hands.
