Re: Soviet Boston lost over Strait of Kerch on 29.12.43?

Hello, Juha!

Yes, it seems that Lipfert’s “Boston” was certainly Li-2. I don’t know about GVF Li-2’s armament, but a presence of MGs seems logical.

By the way, high-ranking officers usually preferred ships or U-2 biplanes for the transfer to Kerch bridgehead. Of course, exceptions were possible.

Regards,

Andrey
