The 154 IAP was one of the first Soviet units to be equipped with the P-40 Tomahawk and during early 1942 received its first P-40E Warhawks. This was the personal aircraft of Mayor P.A. Prokryshev while he was stationed at Plekhanovo in the USSR during the summer of 1942. In June 1942 his score of victories stood at 11 with seven shared - within two months he had doubled it. His flying career was ended in September 1943 when he suffered crippling injuries in a crash following a training flight. From a total of 282 combat sorties, he achieved 38 kills with eight shared.

Nope. I think he should take a break....

 

 

 

.......so he's all fresh and eager to paint, when the IAR-80 comes. ?
