Tummult Over the River Khalkin
|
This work depicts one of the gloriously painted I-153s of the 22 IAP operating over Manchuria during the Khalkin-Gol conflict. Three pilots, none of them as yet identified, are shown standing in front of Red 9, but alas the owner (or, owners) of this aircraft is/are not currently known.
The scene depicts Red 9 chasing a two Japanese A5M fighters. Preparing to roll and dive after the foremost enemy, the pilot of Red 9 has spotted a camouflged 'Claude' directly in his line-of-sight, and in excellent position for attack. The I-153 pilot has begun to reverse his aircraft's bank, and is just shifting his feet on the rudder bar.
