Another rare Red Air Force example

This is a terrific example of a Guards flag for a long range bomber regt, the 13th Guards Red Banner Long Range Aviation Regt. This unit seems to be a B-25 unit, though full research is being done now.

It's a very nice textbook example. Was on display at the SOS after being brought over from Russia, and is now in a large collection of WWII Red Air Force items.

Central Artillery Museum

Not one of my shots, found this on the web, but thought t was an interesting example of a Guards flag:

16th Guards Mortar Brigade-Red Banner-Order of Kutuzov VM-24.

Great Museum.

Awarding

What looks to be the awarding of a Guards flag to a unit, with Khrushchev and Malinovsky and the unit leader.
