--Big complex. --Many buildings not shown here. The Modern Day Location map looks correct. Maybe some of the buildings are still standing.

Online at "Staloingrad Aerial Scans"--the flight school, barracks, and hangars before and after destruction: GX1567SG-136, GX1885-039, & GX1885-046.

The building with the stark white roof at top left, the E-shaped building in line with it, and the building in the right foreground are still standing. The location pinpointed on the "Modern Day Location" map is too far north. Come south-southeast 1100 meters to find a long red-roofed building (numbered 114); that is the top left building in this WWII photo; the E-shaped building is in plain view, as is the white building across the parking lot.

Some of the buildings shown are still standing. The "Modern Day Location" (satellite image) pinpoints too far north; come south-southeast 1100 meters to the long red-roof building (numbered 114); it is the building with the very light-colored roof at the top of the WWII photo; the E-shaped bulding is in line with it; the building across the parking lot is the building in the foreground of the WWII photo.

The flight school, barracks, and hangars can be seen in the online "Stalingrad Aerial Scans"--select TUGX1325SG-057.

Some of these buildings are still standing, and can be seen in the "Modern Day Location" satellite image. 100 meters south-southeast of the pinpointed location is a long red-roofed building (numbered 114): that is the building near the top of the WWII photo, left of center. The e-shaped building is in line with it. Across the parking lot is the building which is in the right foreground of the WWII photo.

The flight school, barracks, and hangars can be seen online at "Stalingrad Aerial Scans"--select TUGX1325SG-057.
