Re: Wreck of P-39 russian found in 2004
Lt. Ivan Ivanovich Baranovsky (7 VA, 1 GvSAD, 733 IAP) was lost on November 19, 1944 in his P-39Q-15-BE (S/N: 44-2911, white "23") during ferry flight to Luostar(?). About 15 km from landing area he broadcasted that he turns to the left and loses altitude. His squadron commander, Zaitsev ordered him to return to his flight position immediately, but he disappeared from their sight and never returned.
