Russian transport shot down July 1941

Hi guys

According to Admiral Golovoko's 'With the Red Fleet' four Russian transports attempted to fly arms and ammunition from Moscow to Murmansk in early July 1941 but one was shot down by a Soviet fighter, which itself was shot down shortly thereafter.

I'm interested in all and any details - date, location, aircraft/crews involved.

The only lead is that the transport unit was commanded by Heroine of the Soviet Union Valentina Grizodubova, although she was not necessarily flying on this occasion.

Cheers
Brian
