Re: Russian claims during the Winter War
Hi Alex, Carl-Fredrik,
Thanks for the info. Yes there was a sixth Gladiator lost on the 29th. GL-269 was lost earlier in the day when it was shot down by an I-153. The incident was not related to the attack on Ruokolahti, which occured around noon, hence my reason for not including it. Alex
