VMF Raid to Constanza 1943 frm Gelendjik
For our Russian friends , I am searching updated details on this low level raid by Russian Naval Air Fleet 36 MTAP 7 x A-20B torpedo bombers from Gelenjik to Constanza harbour Romania on early morning of Sept 28 ,1943 which ended up in a failure and award of 3 HSU gold stars to the pilots and navigators . I have most of the details , however possibly Russian Fed of today is proposing an other posthumous HSU order to one of the pilots KIA at Constanza who was also a former test pilot at Petlyakov Factory in Irkutsk.
