Re: Tomas Polak's STALIN'S FALCONS
Hello, Michael
August 12, 1920. The "Wrangel" Front. 2nd Aviation Division.
Near the village of Malaya Kakhovka (near the city of Borislavl) - pontoon crossing over the Dnieper River. Attack by 7 enemy aircraft of the DH-9 type.
About here 46.779929840854706, 33.372316756225246
About Vasilchenko's plane: "a small "Nieuport" took off from behind a cloud".
According to the description of the battle, two DH-9 aircraft were shot down - one fell in the Bolshaya Kakhovka area, and the second fell "behind the front line" (apparently behind the Dnieper River).
According to some sources, during the entire period of the Civil War, N.N. Vasilchenko won 4 aerial victories (apparently including these two).
Best regards,
Kirill
