Re: Russian transport shot down July 1941
Hi guys
I've just found the following on a Russian website. Does this fit the bill?
184 10 10 not known PS-84 Soviet Air Force d/d jun41 with Wright engine cowlings; opb NII VVS at Chkalovski; in two-tone camo c/s with natural metal undersides; damaged 29jun41 on a flight from Chkalovski to Pskov-Kresty with technical personnel of 402 IAP on board when the landing gear did not lower, as the aircraft was shot at by Soviet fighters from the 8 sad and by Soviet anti-aircraft artillery by mistake, the crew opted for an immediate belly landing; the damaged aircraft was still present 03jul41 but as it could not be recovered in time it was burnt before 26jul41 to prevent it falling into German hands
Cheers
Brian
