Lightning night-fighters in Russia?
Looking through "Luftwaffe Suomessa, vol.2" by Ossi Anttonen (1980), I read with much surprise what follows (P.98):
(July 1943) In the night sky over Leningrad, German pilots now met Lockheed Lightning nightfighers of 760. Fighter Regiment near Leningrad. These aircraft were imported to Russia via Iran from USA and flown to the Leningrad area via the Caucasus. I have never heard that the P-38 was supplied to SSSR and in July 43 there was no such thing as a Lightning night-fighter. Any idea what the author meant?
