The following is a summary of information on Soviet-occupied airfields
and air activities received prior to 10 August:
Aircraft Count:
Brandenburg_Briest: 25 to 30 MIG.15's on 1 August.
Brandenburg?.Industriehafen: 32 IL-10's on 1 August.
Doeberitz: 43 IL.-10's on 28 July.

Jueterbog: 45 1UG-15's and MIG-17's and two IL-28's on 3 August.
Koethen: 46 MG-15's and 1UG-17's on 3 August,
Neuruppin: 36 M10-15's and two IL..28'a on 25 July.
Oranienburg: about 40 IL-28's on 1 August.
2. Air Acti.vit?y :
During good weathers units of the 24th Air Army were engaged in very in-
tensive air activity along the usual pattern. On 2 August, approximately
33 IL-28's and UIL-28's were counted at Welzow airfield and conducted
local as well as high-altitude flights.1 On 5 August, 48 IL-10's landed
at Doeberitz and parked along the northwestern edge. There was no change
in the complement of 43 IL-10's previously observed along,the northwest.-
ern edge*?
3.. Construction Projects:
Because of the high work quota coupled with low pay, many skilled workers
left Gross Doelln airfield. Early in August, about 40 carpenters of
the Bau-Union Magdeburg quit their jobs, in some instances without re-
lease papers. Their places have been taken by apprentices, a fact which
has delayed the progress of the work.
