Tell me about it... You should see my desk, not to mention my agenda.
On July 2, three Rumanian airplanes were lost to enemy. Two were attacking Bulgarica airfield, in Southern Bessarabia, which is too far away from Lipcani. So the third one is the possible candidate.
It was an I.A.R. 39+, which force landed due to enemy fire at Ianova (?). I couldn't find this location, but it should not be far away from the Rumanian border, as two crewmembers returned to the base on foot.
In the area where Lipcani lies the Hungarian aviation was also active in 1941. By any chance, do you have any reference to any VVS claim made against Hungarian airplanes (FIAT CR-42, for example)?
