Day after day for two months the Squadron fought a 400-mi. rear-guard action, covering the evacuation of towns, hindering and harassing Budenny at every turn. Often their base train would slip out of the west of a town as the Cossacks clattered in at the east. Once they were forced to burn planes that failed at the last moment, the pilots escaping...
