"Red Star Airacobra"
Hi guys
I'm currently reading "Red Star Airacobra" the memoirs of Soviet fighter ace Evgeniy Mariinskiy. Not exactly the best translation and rather disjointed but well worth a read, IMHO. Mariinskiy served with the 129th GUIP in 1943/44. I've picked up on one or two incidents and wonder if anyone can provide more details: Mariinskiy was apparently shot down in error by his Regiment commander LtCol Vladimir Bobrov (43 victories) sometime in November or December 1943. I seek the actual date, please. A colleague, Lt Bourgonov (also an ace?) was shot down by own AA fire sometime late in 1943. Baled out, but later shot down and POW. Full identity and dates of both incidents? Fedor Trutnev was shot down and killed by own AA, sometime in January 1944. Confirmation required please. Over to the experts Cheers Brian
