Re: Ju 86 P loss(es) on 15 April 1941 in Ukraine
Hello Jim
thanks for the new lead!
Unfortunately Khazanov & Medved in their MiG-3 Aces of World War 2 mention only the 10 April case when 3 MiG-3s from 31st IAP tried to intercept an unidentified a/c flying at 11.000 m (so probably a Ju 86 P) in the Kaunas area, all 3 MiGs stalled into a spin and two of them were lost and one pilot killed, the other pilot bailed out. Hopefully our Russian experts can tell more.
Hello Chris
Very interesting!
According to Timin the Commander of the Air Forces of the Red Army Lt.Gen Zhigaryev reported to Marshall Timoshenko on 17 June 1941 that in the period from 1 January to 10 June 1941 there were 122 incidents of foreign a/c crossing the state border of the USSR.
