Mondvor Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 ADD means Авиация Дальнего Действия (АДД) - Long Distance Operating Aviation. During second world war Soviet ADD was equiped mostly with Pe-8 and Il-4 bombers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Thanks so much! In this case, when Paul posts it, they were actually Li-2 night bombers.We would be LOST without your knowledge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soviet Li-2 (exact copy of American DC-3) were assigned to the ADD as well. But they were less common than Il-4. They also carried out the functions of transport planes and paratrooper launchers.

It was a part of a grouping I had researched, back in April. This grouping is in the Soviet Research area.Thanks again.Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mondvor Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Paul, you are welcome About abbreviations I must say that Soviet officials by some reason loved to create abbreviations. Some of them are so odd that even native Russian people unable to translate them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
