Aah, ponyatna. I used the Red Army survey map of Unecha from the early 1930's and maybe this was too early.
I read the Wikipedia texts on all of the towns and cities and I knew that Unecha grew a lot. But almost all the towns and cities in the area grew massively after the War and it is difficult to figure out exactly what they would like in the 1940's.
It is possible to get modern Google-earth shots of most of the airfields. But again, that does not always help you understand what they looked like during the war. There is a standard D-shape airfield for many of the air bases and I am guessing that this was the style in the 1950's. It may not help for World War 2.
