Yes, Alexandra Akimova and Sasha were two different people. Alexandra Akimova is one of the people of the 46th GvNBAP that is fortunately still with us today. Sasha, however, was a name I drew out of a hat for a random character.
Irina was also a real person. Her name was Irina Kashirina, and she had flown with Dusya Nosal on that fateful flight, and flew the plane back home holding Dusya's body back so it did not collapse against the control stick.
When I do use a historical person's name, however, I will use the name that they were known by. So for example, if I was making a reference to Lidiia Litvyak, or Katerina Budanova, I would be talking about Lilya and Katya, etc...
Oh, and don't worry. Remember that this is only one briefing of many. It will have many sad, but also many happy moments for you to live through. It shall be a very rewarding campaign. I actually plan on the main player (Tamara Borisova is the player's name) learning to sew with the help of some of her friends from the squadron. Don't worry. It will not be the only thing she learns throughout the campaign, and nor will it be the only thing you learn as well.
In the campaign I am trying to include as many historical names and situations as possible in order to keep to the history and keep the player learning, as well as having fun. I'm glad you liked the first briefing! How's the second one?
