Re: Hampdens destroyed Vaenga 27 September 1942
Hello again, Brian
I checked the reports of the FiAF liaisson officer at the LFl 5. According to him LFl 5 made six bombing attacks on Warlamowo I/Vajenka I/Vaenga (different names and different ways to write the name) airfield during September 1942. Three times by 15-20 Ju 88s and three times by 10 Bf 110s. The results were not good because of the extraordinary powerful AA of the Murmansk area which usually forced the bombers bomb from 6,000 m or higher. During one attack on the Warlamowo I the entire formation of 17 Ju 88s dropped their loads 700 m off the airfield. Juha
