The Defeat of Gladiators, 29 II 1940
Hi
In May 2006 has beed edited my story about Defeat of Gladiators. This is a story about air combats over Roukolahti on 29 II 1940. On this day 23 Soviets I-16, I-153 had attacked FAF air base (Gladiators and Fokkers D.XXI). In about 15 minutes Soviets had claimed about 20 victories over FAF. Losses were smaller but also heavy (6 fighters = 5 Gladiators + 1 D.XXI, 3 KIA, 3 WIA). Sovites lost 2 I-16 + 7 damaged. The story was edited in Militaria XX wieku 3/2006. Text has 7 pages, 2 colors (Gladiator GL-263, D.XXI) and about 10 b&w photos. Text in Polish and English captions. Regards, Mirek Wawrzynski
