Whatever else you can say about the P-40, that was one sturdy aeroplane!

Thanks for the lend-lease site P-40 recovery page link, KL!

He survived three tarans?  Shocked  No wonder he's smiling in those photos - he was a very brave man!

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...

It's uncertain if Hlobistov's P-40 had similar markings - there would be a photo???

Pilot identified as M. Bichkov with the same 147 iap/20 giap:

almost certainly a mistake, it's Gromov's P-40 !!! Shocked
