Re: Boston DB-7 Shot down Saloniki Sept 25,1944
Hi there ,
I tend to agree on the 180 reversal in the event on the pre flt. check
he and his navigator consumed too much Vodka , or simply being upset with
the system decided to follow some of his comrades who in 1941defected
to Turkey . Though it would be quite unsual that the A-20 be fully
tanked for such distance ( due to above issue) and then two
days after his death he was posthumously awarded the order
of Red Banner . One revision though , it was a crew of four .
Cheers
