Thanks for that walt

makes it clear.


Have simular question on B24BW site, and reply re one a/c states it went down in the N/sea a few days before the date that has been set as landing in USSR so question is open on all of those I listed. As they all are supposed to have been used by the Russian AF some up to 1948, details from Red Stars 4.

Thanks again

Alex

That seem to go along with what I found about 41-11820. All I had was that it was forced down in Siberia (Siberia?). No circumstances and no date. That's the reason I didn't mention it.Walt
