Soviet air victory claims on 17.6.1944 over Perkjärvi (Finnish front)?

Hello Stig
but in the table on the page 85 the reason is given as hit by a fighter "hävittäjä osui", same in the LeR 3 book. And the plane wasn't wasn't destroyed in the crash landing on the Heinjoki a/f but only suffered some extra damage. Puhakka was informed that the a/f was demolized and prepared to a wheels-up landing but during his approach noticed that there was still room for a normal landing and selected wheels down but the right undercarriage leg didn't have enough time to lock down properly and retracted near the end of the landing run but the plane was still entirely repairable and was loaded onto raiway carriage. And yes, according to Puhakka his plane was hit by the gunner of the Il-2 he claimed. That's according to his report to the investication board which studied the crash landing.

PS: Nikita's times are Moscow times which are normally +3 GMT and the Finnish time was +2 GMT (Finns used Summer time only in 1942 and then again from late 80s), it seems that the SU used summer time, so there seems to be one hour difference between the crash time of MT-229 and Capt Yermakov's claim time if the SU didn't use a double summer time during the war.
