Russian-Finnish combat March and June 1944

[alex crawford]

Hi,

I have recently received some details of two combats involving Finnish Gladiators and Russian P-40's.

On 5 March 1944 2 Gladiators engaged two P-40's. Results would appear to be inconclusive.

On 15 June 1944 a flight of 3 Gladiators was intercepted twice by one and then two P-40's. No damage was inflicted on either side.

Would anyone have details of the Russian unit/s that were involved in these combats? Were they P-40's or could they have been mistaken for something else?

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,

Alex
