Re: Research info on Ml.Lt.Lynikov
Hah, I did not know that, thanks for the details! I also know about some 5 VA cases where alcohol was involved in plane losses, death, and/or injury of the crew and/or the death of local airfield workers by the crash of the plane(s). On the other hand, eg. German Hptm. Helmut Lipfert scored his 190. and 191. (IL-2) victories under the influence of alcohol. Alcohol took away the sense of fear, or was present when pilots had to take off unexpectedly from an airfield party, or celebration and had no time to wait before the action.
