Re: 7.07.41 and claims/victories of JG 54?
Trouble is the lack of application type in his statment? The difference in shape between MBR-2 and SB is enormous. Finnish pilot rather should recognize the type of aircraft shot down, the mistake is unlikely. BTW, FAF's pilot had shot from quite short distance 50-200 m.
The fact is the loss of two MBR-2 29 July 1941. Reason unknown by the Russians? It could lead to a collision, another possibility could be shot down? In late July of Finland were sent only to the former 11 OAE PM NKVD seaplanes. Bombers fought on and elsewhere.
July 30 may have a different air combat with bombers RKKA, which is also possible?
