Re: Crash Landed Russian AF A-20

Luck in unluck , the photo that you posted may be of some
relevance an event which I am trying to narrow down . It crashed
late January 1944 after attacking sea based German Navy
subs and barges on anchor at Evpatoria Bay . Was hit by AA from one of
the subs bridges . While attempting the forced landing the pilot
was killed ,rest of the crew POW's. It was a newly Jukowsky
modified A-20 dispatched to the Black Sea Fleet. This A-20 carried
"Za Stalina " on port side of the fuselage at pilot's wish who was at
Jukowsky in summer of 1943 . There is a long story attached to the
case and surviving POW's .
