Re: Aces who scored 25 or more kills in the La-5
Ha-ha-ha. Of course it is a ferry tale. Heroes of the Soviet Union could have only legendary deaths in the literature, not death by mistake :-)
He rolled over at landing and bled to death. Maj. Krasnov was an exceptionally good fighter pilot indeed, but his tragic death could have been avoided by belly landing or jump. Did you see the attached military document (TsAMO) of the accident? "10:55 - При взлете на боевое задание шасси не убралось. После прикрытия своих войск, на обратном маршруте в районе Шольт отказал мотор. Сел в поле, после пробега 350 метров самолет скапотировал. Находясь на вынужденной посадке в 3 км от места катастрофы стрелок-радист 260 БАП с-т Солодченко прибыл к самолету через час. Прорубил правую сторону фюзеляжа. Майор Краснов был мертв. (10 км СВВ Шольт, 500 м ЮВ госп дв Чаплар.)" |
