Re: Soviet balloon
Hello
just a short reply. Soviets used in the front with Finland observation balloons, during both Winter (30.11.39-13.3.40) and Continuation (25.6.41-4.9.44) Wars. The Fiat pilot's balloon kill seems to have been a shared kill, probably the back end of the shot down balloon looked like that of the victory marking. The head-on siluettes are easily recognisable so my quess is that the balloon is as exact as the head-on siluettes.
