Re: Shturmovik Il-2 and Il-10

This is getting interesting?
I thought the USAF Navy, Marines, British shot down more Russian made Prop AC?
Especially the Il-10. According to the books the IL-10 performance it was much
better then the Il-2.
Stating it was almost as maneuverable as a Fighter and fast on the deck, and
very tough.

The war books say Il-2, Il-10, Yak7 , Yak9, La5/7/9/11.
Only Mig 15's and one Yak17. I think there was a DC3 and a few Twin Engine
Bombers.
Did the NK use thier AC for ground attack?
Did the Chinese use Prop AC?
