At that time, Germany was preparing to cross the Strait, and fighter planes patronized every day. The Royal Air Force could not wait. After receiving military assistance from the United States, it immediately asked for 650 P-39 fighters, which were renamed P-400 (or "flying snake" MK I) after modification.
However, when Britain sent pilots to the United States to test fly the plane, they immediately changed their mind.
The British soon found that the P-39 was almost useless except for its powerful firepower, so they soon cancelled most orders for "flying snake", so a large number of flying snake fighters were empty.
Bell company is quite depressed. No one wants these planes. They eat soil in the company's open-air apron and become surplus materials.
This time, we just took advantage of this opportunity to throw these surplus materials to the Soviet Union.
Can the Soviet Union not? Every choice they make.
Roosevelt's words made many people present nod. They not only helped the Soviet Union, but also emptied the surplus materials, but also leased them to the Soviet Union. In the future, the Soviet Union will have to pay off its debts, which is absolutely killing multiple birds with one stone.
"That's it." Roosevelt said: "the most important thing now is to transport materials to the Soviet Union. In our current situation, we can only take the routes of the North Atlantic and the Arctic Ocean to the former Soviet Union."
The current situation in the United States is not good. With the deterioration of the situation in the Pacific, it is difficult for the American fleet to swagger on the Pacific and directly send it to the Far East of the Soviet Union.
The United States can only take the Arctic Ocean to the western part of the Soviet Union. Fortunately, now summer is coming, and the Arctic ocean route should be safer.
Compared with history, the United States provided support to the Soviet Union earlier, which is entirely due to the adverse changes in the situation.
When Britain, the only free base in Europe, also fell, the United States could not intervene in Europe at all. The strong military strength of Germany made the United States very afraid. Once Germany conquered the Soviet Union, the United States could not be alone even in the new world.
The United States must help the Soviet Union!
Northwest corner of the Soviet Union, ice free port, Murmansk.
This is a strange place. Geographically, it has penetrated into the Arctic Circle for more than 300 kilometers. It is an authentic Arctic port city.
Therefore, there is a common phenomenon in the Arctic, that is, polar night and polar day. There are one and a half months of long night and two months of long day in a year.
Generally speaking, in the Arctic, it should be covered with ice and snow. However, due to the influence of the North Atlantic warm current, although the temperature is very low, the harbor never freezes all year round. Even in the coldest month, the sea water temperature is no less than 3 degrees Celsius, and it can be navigable all year round.
Therefore, with its excellent geographical conditions, it has become a natural harbor in the north. The nearby North morsk (later known as vaniga), is the headquarters of the Soviet Union's Northern Fleet.
Up to now, the Soviet Union's Northern Fleet is only an ordinary small fleet. Its scale is small. Due to its geographical location, the Northern Fleet participated in very few wars in this world war.
Although it is not frozen all the year round, it is too close to the north and has no great value. Especially when Petersburg is taken down and the Finnish army advances eastward, it will become an isolated island at any time and will not have much value.
Apart from sporadic fighting with Finland, there was not much fighting here.
It's always quiet here. Only fishing boats shuttle back and forth. No one notices that some ships without any flag arrive here through Iceland.
At this time, at the naval aviation base in vaniga, head Boris faoktistovic Safonov, with some of the best pilots carefully selected by himself, waited here.
A large number of aircraft are transported by ships, and now there are a small number of P-39 fighters, driven by American pilots, flying directly here.
On the one hand, it is to let the Soviet pilots get these fighters as soon as possible. On the other hand, after arriving, these American pilots will act as instructors to help the Soviet pilots get familiar with this aircraft and have combat capability as soon as possible.
Safonov is very excited. He used to be an air force pilot. He transferred to the Navy a few years ago and is now the head of the Navy's 78 fighter aviation regiment.
Their plane was originally the most backward iraq-16 fighter. Relying on this backward plane, he once shot down the German BF109
Although after investigation, these BF109 are hired pilots, not German pilot aircraft, he is the pride of the Soviet Navy Air Force, the ability to shoot down BF109 is the best.
However, it is an indisputable fact that the aircraft are lagging behind. Now, his aviation force will receive these fighters in the first batch. Of course, it is the most exciting for them.
In addition to them, there are several experts from the Air Force Academy of Sciences, including chief engineer Rabkin, usatov, Ivanov and nikissin, as well as test pilot grofastov.
After learning of the news that the first batch of us planes were about to arrive, they came here and hoped to test fly these fighters as soon as possible, prepare flight outlines, determine flight quality, and create a foundation for mass equipment of troops as soon as possible.
After all, in the past, the Soviets produced their own aircraft, which was the first time.
They raised their heads and looked at the sky. At this time, over the sea in the northwest, three silver fighters were coming towards them.
On the first long plane, pilot Roy looked at the arriving base in the distance and was filled with emotion.
Just a few years ago, although Roy was an old flying bird and did not serve in the army, he was a flight instructor of an aviation club.
So far, he still remembers that the most impressive pilot he has ever brought is Rick. The German pilot has a unique ability to fly.
Later, Rick left and returned to Germany. In response to Hitler's call at that time, he reportedly entered the German Navy and became a naval aviation force.
Now, with the continuous development of the war, the United States has also been involved. After Pearl Harbor was bombed, Roy joined the U.S. Army. This time, as a flight instructor, he flew P-39 fighter to the Soviet Union.
The United States and Germany entered a state of hostility. Roy thought of the young pilot. He wondered if he would be on the battlefield next time he met?
"Attention, we are going to davaniga base, ready to enter the landing route." Roy, as captain, shouted to the wingman behind him.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
