Hi Lars
I can offer the following extracted from my forthcoming book 'AIR WAR OVER THE ARCTIC; The defence of Murmansk and the Allied Convoys 1941-1942.'
Shortly after 17:00, four P-40 Tomahawks of 20-GvIAP were scrambled from Murmashi airfield following an attack by a single Ju88 from Erpr.St/KG30 flown by Oblt Helmut Afflerbach. The intruder was pursued and engaged by Kapt Georgii Gromov, whose aircraft received a bullet strike on its armoured windscreen, before the Russian pilot's gunfire caused the bomber's starboard engine burst into flames. It seems that Gromov was joined by St/Ljt Nikolay Ûrilina and Mikhail Bychkov. 4D+DA went into a descent and crashed a few kilometres north of Monchegorsk. The crew were all killed. A second Ju88, 4D+KH flown by Hptm Jacob Schmidt, the Staffelkapitän, also failed to return, and was apparently shot down by German ground fire (541.Flakbatterie) in the area of Perejmy. Again there were no survivors.
I would certainly like to hear from you - my email address is:
