unfortunely, no pics of the left side... thank you again anyway! Xan Title: Re: khlobystov's P-40c 147 IAP Murmansk 1942 Post by: John Thompson on March 21, 2012, 12:14:44 AM Thanks for the lend-lease site P-40 recovery page link, KL!
He survived three tarans? :o No wonder he's smiling in those photos - he was a very brave man! John Title: Re: khlobystov's P-40c 147 IAP Murmansk 1942 Post by: xan on March 21, 2012, 12:22:47 AM He died in 43...
Title: Re: khlobystov's P-40c 147 IAP Murmansk 1942 Post by: KL on March 21, 2012, 06:45:29 PM G.V. Gromov was a 20 giap squadron leader at the same time Hlobistov was with the 20 giap.
Gromov's P-40E was photographed from the left!!! Obviously because it had his score on the left side only... http://airaces.narod.ru/all5/gromov_g.htm (http://airaces.narod.ru/all5/gromov4.jpg) (http://airaces.narod.ru/all5/gromov2.jpg) (http://airaces.narod.ru/all5/gromov9.jpg) (http://airaces.narod.ru/all5/gromov5.jpg) It's uncertain if Hlobistov's P-40 had similar markings - there would be a photo???
