Iran crisis 1946 and Yugoslavia
With the USSR stuck in northern Iran (Azerbaijan) in spring 1946, there
were Soviet complaints of incursions into Soviet airspace by two US aircraft. I believe that Mosquitoes of 680 Sqn RAF undertook recce sorties over southern USSR, but does anyone have details or a reference for USAAF (or perhaps US civil or USN) involvement? Second, in 1946 two USAAF C-47s were shot or forced down over Yugoslavia. Anyone have further details of serial (tail) numbers, units and departure and intended destinations? Information is required for an upcoming book and all help will be gratefully received and acknowledged. Thanks -- Vic Flintham Cold war military aviation http://www.vflintham.demon.co.uk |

A couple years ago, on the Library of Congress site, I found a huge file of information (prepared I think at Congressional request) about American aircraft shot down or forced down during the Cold War. Replaced my computer since then, so dont' have the url. all the best -- Dan Ford email: see the Warbird's Forum at www.warbirdforum.com and the Piper Cub Forum at www.pipercubforum.com |
