The questions I asked were essentially: how is it that you came to be a pilot? Why did you choose the Air Force over other services? What was your level of flying experience when introduced to combat operations? What types of aircraft did you fly in combat? Do you recall your first combat engagement and any involving lend-lease aircraft? Your assessment of opponent aircraft, in particular American lend-lease aircraft as used by the Soviets? Comment about Russian combat tactics and the apparent skill level of opponent pilots?
