Re: Lightning night-fighters in Russia?

In July 1943, 760 IAP was based at Belomorsk with Curtiss P-40s and Hawker Hurricanes under 261 SAD/Karelian Front. Its commander was Lt.Col. Anikeyev.

There is nothing in my notes to suggest that it was ever equipped with P-38 Lightnings or that it was ever trained and employed as a night fighter unit.
