Re: Loss of P-40K 42-10083

There was once loss lists of the Aviation of the Northern Soviet Fleet online at this site: http://www.eismeerfront.com/eis_html/poteri.htm

They are no more available on the Net but I saved them.

For 10 November 1944, there is only one loss: a Kittyhawk of 78 IAP (not 20 GIAP) that crashed in Murmansk district. The pilot was Mladshii Leytenant M V Tischaev, and he was unhurt. The cause of the loss is accidental. At this date, the probability that a Soviet fighter would be shot down or crashed due to battle damage close to Murmansk was very low.

A pilot of 20 GIAP was killed the day before in the crash of his Airacobra on Vaenga-2 airfield. It was the only loss reported for 29 GIAP for the month, and the 78 IAP P-40 reported above for the only P-40 reported loss for the month too.
