Re: Soviet P-63 pilot, escaping with He 111 w.V1(s)
According to Wikipedia, the "evidence" that p-63 saw service on the eastern front was identification by pilots and flak crews (no official reports or photos) and the memoirs of "a member of Pokryshkin's squadron who published his memiors in the '90s". I have no idea who this pilot would be, if these memoirs are reliable, or if they are even available in English.
About the story of a group of escaped POWs and the He 111: if it was real, wouldn't there be several feature motion pictures made by now? This story makes the Great Escape seem like a stroll in the park.
