Re: 659 IAP KOLDUNOV

Hi Paul,

Regardless of the similarities, maintenance of so many subtypes of the Boston must have been an extremely challenging job for the ground-crews. No wonder, they applied several home-made solutions to keep the planes in the air. Rough number of lost 17 VA planes on January 4, 1945 was:

17 IL-2
1 Boston
1 La-5F
3 La-5FN
1 Yak-1b
1 Pe-2
2 Yak-9D
1 Yak-9T

Sent private message too. Regards,

Gabor
