Re: 4 January 1942: Soviet seaplane attack on Loustari airfield

Quote:
Does the book you mention (is it worth trying to buy a copy?)
It's edited reprint of "Chronicles of Great Patriotic War on the Northern marine theatre" originally from year 1944. Soviet side quite detailed (but later years should be even better).
Of these reprints, only 3 volumes about Northern Navy arrived at the end of 90ties (covering 1941-42). Original seems to be available from eastview.com.

About this attack following is written:
Quote:
During the night of 4./5. Navy aircraft bombarded enemy forces near B. Zapadnaja Liza and storehouses near Titovka. 23 sorties. 4 fires were observed at storehouses. Antiaircraft fire. One Che-2 did not return to base, second one was destroyed during forced landing in the area of aerodrome. Crew unhurt.
