Some terms mystify me, perhaps someone can clue me in.

"bis" as a suffix to an air units identifier
"OBDL" as a kind of recon air unit
"EIS" as in unit "14. (EIS)/KG27"

bis is an italian term and means improved variant, should be seen on aircraft types
EIS = Eisenbahn = unit specialized on train/rail attacks
OBDL = Luftwaffe High Command = Strat recon units directly reporting/assigned to high command

Interesting! Would never have thought that for bis (separate from I-153BS which IIRC or assumed was bomber series).

Nomenclature was one of the hardest things for me coming into the game. Stab flights, RAD labor detachment, FBD, etc.

Thanks (might have a few more some time.)
