Commander Captain Starikov Alexander Petrovich (Com. Flight 2 Esq. 95 BAP). Radio operator-gunner senior lieutenant Leonid Ivanovich Penkovsky (air gunner 2nd squadron, 95th BAP).
He did not return from a combat mission in April 1942. During a bombing attack on the Hebugten airfield, seven Pe-2s were attacked by the 25th Bf 109.
The remains of the crew were found in 1989 near Lake Voyavr. Buried in Kola. Description from the book “Wings over the Sea”
“...The situation developed differently during the attack on the Hebugten airfield. This large airbase periodically received up to hundreds German planes and was a tempting but dangerous target. Seven Pe-3s attacking the airfield were met by a large group (more than two dozen) of German fighters, who, however, were unable to disrupt the bombing. In an effort to gain time, the group leader, Captain B. Shishkin, maneuvered and met the enemy fighters with a salvo of rocket launches. The surprise of the use of the RS-132 and RS-82 played a role and temporarily delayed the fighter attack, allowing Soviet pilots to accurately bomb aircraft parking lots and hangars. However, when the Petlyakovs retreated, German fighters literally tore the group to pieces. Only one Pe-3 returned to its airfield, another one landed at a neighboring airfield. The pilot of the third Petlyakov, who escaped by parachute, turned out to be the last survivor.”

On an island among the swamps in the Novgorod region, searchers accidentally discovered a combat aircraft that had been preserved since the Great Patriotic War in almost perfect condition. The location of the aircraft is kept in the strictest confidence, since the combat vehicle is of great interest to “black diggers”: on the smuggling market, an artifact can cost 500 thousand dollars.
A combat aircraft from the Great Patriotic War was found in the Novgorod region, which was preserved almost in its original form. The location of the unique find is kept in the strictest confidence: such an aircraft is of great interest to “black diggers”, since it is worth half a million dollars on the smuggling market.
The plane, believed to be a single-engine Yak-1, was lost in a swampy area for almost 70 years. Despite this, the combat vehicle completely survived, its engine was not even damaged. This makes it possible to assume that the pilot managed to land the plane after his engine simply failed. Searchers also found the remains of the pilot in the cockpit.
We intentionally keep secret the name of the area where the find was discovered. And we decided not to publicly post the photographs that we were able to take where the military aircraft was found. I'll explain why. The combat vehicle is in almost perfect condition, only covered with moss. This find should remain in Russia, become an exhibit of one of the Russian museums military equipment and not leave our country. Now on the black market, where illegal diggers operate, such a find would be valued at $500 thousand.
The search engines transmitted information about their find to the Synergy Center for Civic and Patriotic Education, which is located in Moscow. Its employees have already sent out a cry throughout Russia, inviting the best specialists to take part in the restoration work. It is assumed that the restoration of the military aircraft will take place in two stages, each of which will be very difficult.
The plane remains where it was found for now. The car was completely covered with moss; searchers did not touch the plane so as not to damage the metal structures. It is known that he was not shot down - the plane’s engine failed, and the pilot managed to land it. We can say with 100% certainty that there are only a few such finds all over the world. Most often, search engines manage to find fragments of some military equipment.

The Center for Civic and Patriotic Education "Synergy" was created on the basis of the Moscow Financial and Industrial University with the aim of uniting educational process and civil educational mission. The head of the center, Mikhail Kudinov, takes an active part in search expeditions, and university students and center participants take an active part in restoration work.
According to Mikhail Kudinov, the process of working on the find will take place in two stages. The first stage will last until June 9, at which time the plane must be “unanchored” and relocated to a restoration workshop. The plans are to make the discovery of the plane public and hand over his personal belongings to the pilot’s relatives.
We plan to involve one of the leading federal television channels to present his personal belongings to the relatives of the pilot, whose remains were found on the plane, live. We will first begin searching for the pilot’s relatives and hope that they will be successful.
The second stage of the operation will take place until June 22. The search engines will involve Russia's leading restorers, who have been restoring military equipment from the Great Patriotic War for many years.
Many restorers have already expressed a desire to take part in the work. Russian specialists have an excellent reputation. For example, in the military melodrama Pearl Harbor, all the planes that we see on the screen were literally assembled from nothing by Novosibirsk specialists. We invited them to work on the find - the Yak-1 aircraft. Unique craftsmen are ready to restore the car to the point where it can fly.
Expert opinion
historian, Veliky Novgorod
— The Yak-1 was developed in the design bureau of A.S. Yakovlev as a front-line fighter, had a lightweight design due to a small fuel supply and weakened weapons. Entered service in 1940. By the beginning of the war, there were about 800 Yak-1s in the Red Army Air Force units. The aircraft was equipped with an M-105PA engine with a maximum power of 1,100 horsepower, had a practical range of 650 kilometers, and was armed with one 20-mm ShVAK cannon and two 7.62-mm ShKAS machine guns installed in the nose of the aircraft. Most of fighters were lost in the first weeks of the war.

Historical finds of the Synergy center
In the period from 1945 to the present day, parts of that very bloody war, the war for human ideals, are found all over the earth. Summer residents find unexploded shells, grenades and mines in their gardens. Search teams, divers, fishermen and ordinary mushroom pickers find tanks and planes. Let's remember what was found and raised.
The P-39Q-15 Airacobra aircraft, serial number 44-2911, was discovered at the bottom of Lake Mart-Yavr (Murmansk region) in 2004. The fighter was spotted by a fisherman, who reported that he saw the outline of the plane's tail through the water, on the muddy bottom. When the plane was recovered from the lake bed, it turned out that both cockpit doors were locked, although usually, during a hard landing, one or both would be thrown back to allow the pilot to exit. Presumably, the pilot could have died immediately from a strong impact of the plane on the bottom or from flooding of the cabin.
The found remains were buried with full honors on the Walk of Fame in Murmansk.
The wing 12.7 mm machine guns on the aircraft were removed. The fuselage armament and the 37 mm Colt-Browning M4 motor gun did not undergo any modifications.
Supplies of ammunition and stewed meat were also found inside the cabin. In a separate case, a flight book and other documents were found, heavily washed away by water.
The aircraft was built in 1939 and saw action in the Battle of France and the Battle of Britain before serving on the Eastern Front. On April 4, 1942, German fighter ace Wolf Dietrich Wilcke, piloting this plane, was shot down and forced to land on a frozen lake. Wilke escaped death. The plane remained almost unscathed after a near-perfect emergency landing until it plunged to the bottom of the lake. There it remained untouched for more than six decades, until it was finally raised in 2003. Countless bullet holes located on the plane's wings and horizontal stabilizers were one of the main reasons for the plane's accident, but one large hole in the right wing attachment point may have been what killed the fighter.
Brewster F2A Buffalo - BW-372. The plane was found in Lake Bolshoye Kalijärvi at a depth of 15 meters in a depression in the middle of the lake. The underwater environment was ideal for preserving the vehicle. Having lain for 56 years at the bottom of the lake, the fighter was completely immersed in silt; this slowed down the corrosion process, but became an obstacle when rising, making it difficult to lift it off the bottom. Its pilot, Finnish fighter ace Lauri Pekuri, was shot down on June 25, 1942 during a battle with pilots of the 609 IAP in an air battle over the Soviet Segezha airfield in the Murmansk region. Pekuri has already shot down two Russian aircraft, before he was forced to land his. The pilot left the damaged Brewster and reached his positions.
An F6F Hellcat crashed on the morning of January 5th at Last year war. The pilot Walter Elcock, who was sitting at the helm, lost control during a training flight and fell into the icy water of Michigan along with the plane, but managed to swim out.
The only Dornier Do-17 bomber that has survived to this day was raised from the bottom of the English Channel. The plane was shot down during the Battle of Britain in 1940. This is one of the one and a half thousand sharpened by Germany, and the only one that has survived today. The Dornier Do-17 stood out among its contemporary bombers for its high speed. It was originally designed as a fast reconnaissance aircraft, but was redesigned as a bomber in the mid-1930s. The plane was attempting to attack airfields in Essex. It was possible to restore the call sign of the recovered aircraft - 5K-AR. The plane with these call signs was shot down on August 26, 1940. The pilot and another crew member were captured and sent to a prison camp. Two other crew members were killed
The Soviet attack aircraft Il-2 was found by fishermen. The plane was lying relatively shallow. Apparently, the plane was severely damaged during the battle; it went under water, breaking into pieces. Fortunately, the looters did not reach the plane - evidence of this is the preserved remains of the pilot: no one entered the cockpit.
The front part and wing are well preserved. The plane's tail number could not be found, but the engine and propeller numbers were preserved. Using these numbers they will try to establish the name of the pilot.
A B25 bomber recovered from the bottom of Lake Murray in South Carolina.
This P-40 “Kittyhawk” crashed in 1942 three hundred kilometers from civilization, in the heat of the desert. Sergeant Dennis Copping took from crashed plane the little that could be useful to him, and went into the desert. Since that day nothing has been known about the sergeant. Seventy years later, the plane was found almost untouched. Even the machine guns and their ammunition, as well as most of the instruments in the cockpit, survived. The vehicle's nameplates have survived, making it possible for historians to reconstruct the history of its service.
Focke-Wulf Fw-190 Yellow 16 Designed by German aeronautical engineer Kurt Tank, the Focke-Wulf Fw-190 "Würger" (Strangler) was one of the most successful fighter aircraft of World War II. Entering service in August 1941, it was popular among pilots and was flown by some of the Luftwaffe's most elite fighter aces. During the war years, more than 20,000 of these aircraft were produced. Only 23 aircraft survive in complete configuration, and they are all in different collections around the world. This remarkably preserved Fw-190 was recovered from the cold waters off the Norwegian island of Sotra, west of the city of Bergen.
In the Murmansk region, near the village of Safonovo-1, an Il-2 attack aircraft from the 46th ShAP of the Northern Fleet Air Force was lifted from the bottom of Lake Krivoye. The plane was discovered in December 2011 in the middle of the lake at a depth of 17-20 meters. On November 25, 1943, due to damage received in an air battle, the Il-2 did not reach its airfield by about three kilometers and made an emergency landing on the frozen Lake Krivoye. The commander, junior lieutenant Valentin Skopintsev, and the air gunner, Red Navy man Vladimir Gumenny, got out of the plane. After some time, the ice broke, and the attack aircraft went under water, only to reappear on the surface 68 years later.
Lake Krivoe generally turned out to be rich in aircraft found. A Yak-1 aircraft from the 20th IAP of the Northern Fleet Air Force was also lifted from the bottom of the lake. On August 28, 1943, during a flight, the fighter made an emergency landing on the surface of the lake and sank. Piloted by junior lieutenant Demidov. To date, there is only one Yak-1 in the world out of more than 8,000 built. This is the Yak-1B Hero fighter Soviet Union Boris Eremin, who was transferred to the pilot’s homeland, to the local history museum of the city of Saratov. Thus, the raised Yak-1 fighter will be the second in the world today.
On the hot morning of Monday, July 19, 1943, Sergeant Major Paul Ratz got into the cockpit of his Focke-Wulf Fw190A-5/U3 WNr.1227, “White A” from 4./JG 54, and took off from the Siverskaya airfield. The departure was carried out by a pair of staff vehicles; it was about a 15-minute flight to the front line; crossing the front line on the Dvina River, the pair moved further to the east. In the Voybokalo area, planes attacked a Soviet armored train. During the attack, the vehicle was damaged by air defense fire; one of the hits pierced the tank and injured the pilot. The pilot pulled to the base until the last moment, but having lost a lot of blood, he made an emergency landing. The plane landed in a clearing in the middle of the forest, and after landing the pilot died.
The Aviation Museum in Krakow carried out an operation to recover from the bottom of the Baltic Sea the wreckage of an American Douglas A-20 bomber that sank during World War II. For the museum, this exhibit is a real treasure, since there are only 12 such aircraft left in the world.
Hawker Hurricane IIB “Trop” fighter, Z5252, onboard “white 01″ from the second guards fighter aviation regiment of the Northern Air Force. Pilot Lieutenant P.P. Markov. On June 2, 1942, he made an emergency landing after a battle on a lake west of Murmansk. In 2004 it was raised from the bottom of the lake.
This I-153 Chaika fighter was lost near Vyborg on the last day of the Winter War.
A B-24D Liberator rests on Atka Island in the Aleutian Islands of Alaska, where it crash-landed on December 9, 1942. This aircraft is one of eight surviving "D" version Liberators. He was on a weather reconnaissance mission when inclement weather prevented him from landing at any of the nearby airfields.
"Junkers Ju-88". Spitsbergen. Early versions of the German Luftwaffe's Junkers Ju-88 aircraft, which entered service in 1939, underwent many technical modifications during their development. But once these were eliminated, the twin-engine Ju-88 became one of the most versatile combat aircraft of World War II, serving in a variety of roles from torpedo bomber to heavy reconnaissance fighter.
An IL-2 plane was lifted from the bottom of the Black Sea. Presumably, he was shot down in 1943, when there were fierce battles for Novorossiysk. Now the historical find has been delivered to Gelendzhik.
The German Ju 52 aircraft was raised from the bottom of the sea by employees of the Greek Air Force Museum on June 15, 2013. During the siege of Leros in 1943, the plane was shot down by anti-aircraft guns off the coast of the island. He's been down ever since Aegean Sea for more than 60 years, when local divers, with the help of the Greek Air Force War Museum, discovered it again.
The German military recovered the remains of the Nazi bomber JU 87 Stuka from the bottom of the Baltic Sea. On this moment There are only two original examples of this military aircraft in the world, which are presented in museums in London and Chicago. The Ju-87 "Stuka" was discovered on the bottom of the Baltic Sea in the 1990s. However, work to raise the aircraft started much later. According to experts, the plane was preserved in good condition, despite the fact that it had lain on the bottom of the sea for about 70 years.
The 70-year-old plane was lost in the impassable forest wilds somewhere on the border of Pskov, Novgorod and Leningrad regions. A search party from Novgorod accidentally discovered it on a patch of land surrounded by swamps. By some miracle, the plane completely survived, but neither its history, nor the model, nor the fate of the pilot have yet been clarified. According to some signs, this is a Yak-1. The car is completely overgrown with moss, and search engines have not yet touched it for fear of damaging the rarity. What is known is that the plane was not shot down, its engine simply failed.
Curtiss-Wright P-40E airborne “white 51” from the 20th Guards Fighter Aviation Regiment. Pilot junior lieutenant A.V. Pshenev. Shot down on June 1, 1942. The pilot landed on a lake. Found in 1997 at the bottom of Code Lake west of Murmansk.
The twin-engine long-range bomber - DB-3, later called Il-4, was used as a long-range reconnaissance aircraft, torpedo bomber, minelayer, and a means of landing people and cargo. The last combat missions of the IL-4 were carried out on Far East during the war with Japan. Was found by searchers in the swamps of the Kola Peninsula.
Messerschmitt Bf109 G-2/R6 B “Yellow 3”
German fighter Messerschmitt Bf109 G-2. which made an emergency landing in the sea near Nereus, Norway on March 24, 1943. It was raised in 2010 from a depth of 67 meters.
Henkel He-115, raised from the bottom in Norway.
The half-sunken Flying Fortress No. 41-2446 had lain in Aghaimbo Swamp Australia since 1942, where its captain, Frederick Fred Eaton Jr., made an emergency landing after his aircraft was damaged by enemy fighters over Rabaul in East New Britain. Despite several bullets, shattered plexiglass and bent propellers, the B-17E remained largely corrosion-free 70 years after it crashed into the ground.
This Douglas SBD "Dauntless", a Battle of Midway veteran, was salvaged from the waters of Lake Michigan in 1994. In June 1942, during a raid on Japanese aircraft carriers west of Midway, the Neustrashimy was riddled with 219 bullets and was one of only eight aircraft to return to base out of 16 that had departed. The plane returned to the United States for repairs, where it crashed during a training flight to the aircraft carrier Sable.
Half-buried at an abandoned military airfield in the shadow of the mighty Mount Pagan volcano, the skeletal remains of a Mitsubishi A6M5 Zero fighter jet are the remains of one of two Japanese aircraft that crashed on the western side of Pagan Island, part of the Mariana Islands.
Unfortunately, most of the aircraft found in Russia have long been sold abroad, where they were restored and put on the wing. It’s a shame that we, even for a lot of money, gave valuable exhibits of that Great War into the wrong hands. But even so, they would have disappeared in the dark waters of lakes and swamps forever.
