Re: BL-154 and BL-157
Hi!
There was no Me 110 anywhere near the incident. Bomber types were Do 17Z and Blenheims. All Finnish, rest is Soviet confusion one can ignore.
Matti Hämäläinen has written two-three books about Lentolaivue 42. In one of these he writes Blenheim guys were angry because Do 17 going in first did so against orders and at the same altitude and speed. When BLs arrived, Soviets were all set and more so for the later group which lost two.
Bad tactics applied (against plans even?) allowing Soviet AAA time to get their sights really ready.
This is my recollection of a book. Right now several hundred kilometers away from those, so cannot check.
Cheers,
Kari
