Re: Can this loss of Brewster be confirmed?
Privet!
According book Kesäsota by Atso Haapanen HLeLv 26 flew couple of interception missions during June 15th. Planes were Brewsters BW-384 (09.10-10.25, 11.40-12.30 and 15.00-16.00) and BW-377 (11.40-12.30). Times in parenthesis are Finnish time. It is possible that some document have incorrect times recorded and BW-384 has made only one or two flights instead of three.
Not a single FinnAF fighter was lost June 15th for any cause (I checked also Kohtalokkaat lennot 1939-1944 by Jaakko Hyvönen which lists all FinnAF a/c and crew losses). No damages for Brewsters are mentioned either.
