Re: Russians bomb Berlin 13 September 1942
Interesting story. On September 13, 1942 the 45 AD DD (746 & 890 AP DD), flying the 4 engine, long range Pe-8s flew missions to Bucharest, Rumania (8 Pe-8, dropping 2 FAB-1000, 16 FAB-500TGA, 22 FAB-250TGA, 4 SAB-100 bombs) and Kiev, Ukraine (one Pe-8, dropping 4 FAB-500TGA bombs).
No combat loss this day, only one 890 AP DD Pe-8 (S/N: 42027, commander: Masalev) was lost in an accident.
Found no such name among the lost long-range aviators on September 12, 13, 14, 1942 neither. I think some data must be incorrect.
Cheers,
Gabor
