Re: Ju 86 P loss(es) on 15 April 1941 in Ukraine
Hello Juha, Larry, and Co.
There’s visual evidence of strenuous Soviet efforts to counter one, at least, of these overflights at just this time. If you have a look at Roy Stanley’s 'World War II Photo intelligence' Photo 3-10, page 75, (Sidgewick & Jackson 1982) he reproduces a vertical image taken ‘SW of Vilnius’ on 17 April 1941 which shows a Soviet I-153 pacing the reconnaissance aircraft. According to Stanley the aircraft tracks the high flying a/c for a distance of c 150 Kms. I’ve looked through the SIS plots in the US but can't find a sortie candidate I’m happy with yet. ObdL plots preserved in TsAMO include one sortie (SU 1441) dated 17 April 1941. This may be the one. More when I know more. Best ChrisG
