- Recently I had a post where I need the words off a soviet aviators
- pin translated. Thank you to everyone who replied.
-
- The words read "Sniper Pilot" and from what I gathered it is
- some kind of elite group of fighter pilots. But I have looked
- up that in several books on the Russian Air forces and I could
- find only one reference and that was on a chart of various aviator
- pins and what they meant. But not any explaination was given.
-
- If any of you can give me some back ground on this group of
- pilots in the russian air forces it would be appreciated.
