On November 25th, 1942 a Soviet-French treaty to create a French fighter squadron in the territory of the USSR was signed. Pilots asked that the squadron would be named “Normandie”. It took part in the battle of Kursk in 1943 and in the offensive in Belorussia in 1944, as well as battles in East Prussia. For its special services during the assault of Niemen the squadron received its respective second name.
During their service 96 French pilots made 5240 operational flights, had 273 confirmed and 36 unconfirmed victories. Four pilots became heroes of the Soviet Union while others also received numerous rewards.

Awesome! Soon Pierre Clostermann with his Spit?
too many spits already.. tempest would be better
prknowsbest, Yes! His Big Charlie is true legend.
This is going to be a great way to honor one of the greatest squadrons of all time. A exiled group of men who continued to fight. I do not know if this is true or not, but I think the Luftwaffe usually hated facing these pilots due to how good they were. Anyway looking forward to getting the emblem and maybe the plane as well. Good Luck on the battlefield everyone.
Hey, i just unlocked the decal but i cant find it in an of the decal menus. do i get it right away or do i have to wait for it?
I just completed the task for the decal and just opened the Battle Thropy. First of all, one need 30 kills on RB not 40, and second of all I didnt get the decal! Someone please help, I worked very hard for it, it's nowhere, I can't find it, Ive checked everywhere. It's bugged. The achievement says 60 player kills (RBx2, SBx3)
What category is the decal under once you unlock it?
I think it's awesome that a game like this is free. Please never change that. Obviously the people who work on this need to make a living. Happy to support them ( and those who play for free ) by buying a premium plane once in a while.
Will the French Yak-9T only be available for purchase during the aforementioned period? Or just the emblem/discounts?
René Challe’s premium Yak-9T fighter (France) available for purchase only until November 27th 09:00 GMT! literally the first bit of text you'll see...
With a simulator battle, there is a problem of mistaking the Soviet Yak-9 as a French Yak-9T.
Dance around the plane in question until the name tag pops up, if it doesn't show up, shred it.
