1C Game Studios LukeFF Posted August 7 1C Game Studios Posted August 7 Eighty-five years ago, on the evening of August 7, 1941, fifteen DB-3 long-range bombers of the Baltic Fleet Air Force took off from Kagul airfield on the island of Ösel, now known as Saaremaa. The formation was led by Colonel Yevgeny Preobrazhensky, commander of the 1st Mine-Torpedo Aviation Regiment. After a long night flight over the Baltic Sea, five aircraft reached Berlin, while the others struck alternate targets. On the morning of August 8, every crew returned to the airfield without losses. This was the first Soviet air raid on the capital of Nazi Germany. The history of military aviation lies at the heart of the IL-2 Series. For us, it is important not only to recreate aircraft and aerial battles, but also to tell the stories of the people and events behind them. 8
