Re: 108. BAP VVS SF attacking Tirpitz + Soviet recce missions
Hallo Jan,
There was a very good article on the use by the Soviets of the few Spitfire PR types that they received in AIR ENTHUSIAST, No. 90. I do not have it to hand unfortunately - it is hidden away safely out of sight in the attic at my good wifes insistance ! From recollection I think the Soviet Spitfire PR sorties over the 'Tirpitz' were well covered. Again I think their use was almost exclusively on the Murmansk front. Hope this helps, Martin Gleeson. |

May be 118th ORAP?
Jan, I can email you a scanned article from Mir Aviatsii 1/93 by Kotel'nikov about its PRs and Tirpitz. I think you can understand Russian.
