An article about the difficult fate of the British torpedo bombers "Hampden" in 1942 sent to the USSR to strengthen the torpedo aviation of the allies in the Arctic. Machine translation: link

Great article. Amazing just to get the aircraft there and then they seemed quite ineffective. Thanks for that.

THe story is of a tragic waste of lives and obsolete equipment, followed by USSR paranoia of any attempt to send them aid, if it involved access to harbours or airfields. I will admit, I had no idea anyone was daft enough to employ the Hampden as a (by definition low level) torpedo bomber.The Devastator sounds a better bet against Zeros

In fact, this story was not the only British operation in Northern Russia. There was also Operation Benedict: link
