Hello Brian!
The six Ju-88s took-off from Rissala Air Base at 2.10 p.m. Around 4 p.m. the German Messerschmitts found the planes and damaged the right wing and engine of JK-256. Pilot Captain (kapteeni) Kalevi Heiskanen, Gunner Sergeant (alikersantti) Esko Kauppila and Gunner Sergeant (alikersantti) Leo Immonen were killed. Observer Pilot Officer (vänrikki) Aarne Keko was wounded.
