Airfields and Troops at Pus in
&& 1948
1.. There are two airfields, separated by about 300 meters, at Pu:ah1cin, '23 km.
from Leningrad on the main Leningrad-Warsaw railway. Both airfields were
equipped fairly recently, the smaller for training purposes, thelarger for
fighter planes. The latter is quite modern, with two searchlight towers
and electric lighting along the runways. There was a considerable number
of fighter aircraft on the field between l and 6 July 1948. They were of
modern types, principally and possibly exclusively YAKS. On the smaller
training airfield, there were some 30 aircraft. Near the training-airfield
there is a pilots' training school with about 200 trainees. The officers
and NCOs are commanded by Lieut. Col. Mar hovine who is also commandant of
the school and the training airfield. There are two two-storied brick
buildings, four large hate, and a large hangar with repair workshop on
the training field. Close to the large fighter airfield, there are four
large hangars and eight large huts. One of these huts houses the headquarters
of the airfield and also headquarters of a fighter unit. Living quarters for
the flying personnel are in the town of Pushkin. The fighter airfield is well
guarded and one cannot approach without giving one's reasons to the sentries.
