Looks like a must see for me.
WoW! WWII Russian "Comrade Topgunski". :dizzy:
A P39 (or is that a P63?) cleaning up an Fw190 In a turning dogfight?
Topgunski indeed!
:biggrin-new::biggrin-new::biggrin-new::biggrin-new::biggrin-new:
The Soviets did have good success with the P-39 in air to air combat at lower altitudes. Could they have been using the P-63 closer to the end of the war? The lend-lease agreement actually forbade the use of the new P-63 against the Nazi's, the Soviet's were to keep their P-63's in the east, for an eventual attack on Japanese forces. We all know the Soviet's always kept their promises, right?:rolleyes:Quote:

As standss said, the Soviets loved the P-39 at lower altitudes, where most of the action took place on the eastern front. The big gun in the nose made a good difference.
Indeed. My mother's cousin (Gerhard Homuth) flying a Focke-Wulf 190A-6 was lost in a dogfight with several Soviet fighters. He downed a P-39, but never returned from the mission. Still MIA to this day. No way to be sure, but the other fighters may have also been P-39's.
I'm not sure how the last three characters might be changing the meaning but from what I can read now it looks like the movie title is "Nine"-something, judging but the first five characters. (I'm just learning but if Russia has an equivalent to Sesame Street I'd appreciate some DVDs!)Quote:
