Russian P-40 AK295 shot down 1 Feb 1942

Hi guys

AK295 was apparently shot down on 1 February 1942, the first P-40 lost on operations in the Far North. However, I have no record of any Luftwaffe action, let alone claim, for that date. The pilot, Ljt Adam Kontsevoi of 147-IAP survived.

Cheers
Brian

UPDATE: I'VE SINCE BEEN ADVISED THAT AK295 WAS NOT SHOT DOWN BUT CARRIED OUT AN EMERGENCY LANDING DURING AN OPERATION, IN WHICH THE PILOT WAS BADLY INJURED.

Sorry Brian only just saw this one

I was tracking this aircraft as one of two claims by JG54, not sure how correct I am
