Re: Moving Barkhorn story . . .
I've been reading "Red Star Airacobra" by Evgeniy Mariinskiy. Barkhorn "might not" have been after the pilot on destroying the shot down aircraft but destroying it was sound. In the book Ml.Lt. Viktor Grigorevich Korolev was shot down on the 20Oct43 and forced landed his Airacobra. The mechanics recovered it that night and started repairing it to put it back in the air. Erich Hartmann was in the air in those battles that day. If the plane wasn't destroyed it didn't show up on the 129 GIAP losses as destroyed.
