On 30 march 1944 several Fighter School instructors managed to bring down a four-engine B-24 Liberator with their 7.92mm MG.Bulgarian planes dont have the 20mm canon. They were on Avia B.135B. (Nice aircraft. Its one of my favorites).

The D.520's had 20mm Hispano-Suiza HS 404, though.

Bulgarians had fighters based in ex- Iugoslavy teritory, or just had done pursuit after the USAAF bombers? Because i read about an event with "podporuchik" M.Grigorov, who shot down two Lightning over Skopie, in Macedonia on 21st octomber 1943. Iama |

Why romanian communists don't acted like bulgarians?
Bulgarian Ace Stoyanov, neglected by the communist regime, has lived and worked as a guide of tourists in the Rila Monastery for about 30 years... Iama |

That was more like a "house arrest" for him, not a very enviable situation. Last Summer, I met in Sofia Stoyanov's son and he told me interesting stories about his father. Gen. Dénes |

Maybe this was because Stoyanov do fights against "capitalist pigs", and not against "the mighty russian soldiers: uraaa!" ... and our pilots, do fights on both fronts. Iama |
