Interesting read: Fighter tactics of the Finnish Airforce 1943

Very interesting read about fighter tactics teached to finnish airmen.

There are general tactics mentioned, which we all know and special advises against several VVS aircraft as the I-153, La-5 and Yak.

Especially this part,as many people complained online about being shot down by Il2 pilots with this method.

 

"The well-armoured Il-2 requires especially good shooting. The only vulnerable areas of the plane are the top of the canopy and the wing roots, where the armour is thinner. The shooting must be very accurate and thorough, because the effective target area is only about 2 m2. Be careful not to fly in front of this plane after shooting, because it is quite ready to pull up and use it's cannon on you."
