Финская версия:
On 25 February, three Gladiators from LLv 26's detachment Siiriдinen were sent to intercept Russian artillery observation planes above Muolaa. The pilots were luutnantti Pentti Tevа (GL-254), alikersantti Matti Sukanen (GL-258) and alikersantti Ilmari Joensuu (GL-256). They met nine R-5 planes near Muolaanjаrvi, attacked and shot down four of them. Sukanen claimed one and one damaged at 15:30 while Tevа shot down two at 16:10 and Joensuu finally claimed one at 16:15. The Soviet aircraft were in fact R-Zs from 4 LBAP, 13 VA, of which two were lost. There were also six Russian I-153s from 13 OIAP (Soviet 13th Independent [O] fighter [I] regiment [AP]) in this area as an escort to the R-Zs. These intercepted and shot down and killed Tevа. His GL-254 was seen to dive straight into ground from the altitude of 3000 m without any attempts to pull up or jump, so Tevд was probably hit himself. Sukanen was also shot down. He was wounded and crashed his Gladiator at Ristseppдlд. Joensuu was forced to make forced landing with a damaged fighter.
One more Gladiator was lost on the same day when it made a forced landing on the enemy side.
At 16:10 on the same day, vаnrikki Lauri Sihvo (GL-279) claimed a damaged R-5 over Sippola.
А детальнее - Это только Олег Киселев поможет... :) (С)
