The wrecked rear turret of Avro Lancaster B Mark I, ED413 'DX-M' "Minnie the Moocher", of No. 57 Squadron RAF at Scampton, Lincolnshire, after returning from a night raid to Oberhausen, Germany, on the night of 14/15 June 1943, during which it was attacked by German night fighters. A cannon shell exploded in the rear turret, killing the gunner, Sergeant R F Haynes of Nuneaton Cheshire, while further strikes smashed the radio and navigational equipment, and riddled the fuselage of the aircraft with holes. The pilot, Sergeant A H Moores of Bromley, Kent, who was on his fifth operation over Germany, carried on nevertheless and bombed the target before making a succesful return to Scampton.

The bombing and the resulting firestorm destroyed over 1,600 acres (6.5 square km) of the city center. Three more USAAF air raids followed, two occurring on 2 March and 17 April 1945 aimed at the city’s railroad marshaling yard and one small raid on 17 April 1945 aimed at industrial areas. Between 22,700 and 25,000 people were killed in the bombings. Dresden, Saxony, Germany. 16 February 1945.

To participate in joint military operations in the Arctic and retraining Soviet pilots for their new fighter 'Hurricane' with their subsequent transfer in July 1941 as part of the Royal Air Force was formed 151 Wing. It consisted of two fighter squadrons (134th and 81th). The structure of the wing consisted of about 550 people, including more than 30 pilots to hundreds of people management officers, technicians and flight dispatchers and 400 service personnel: doctors, cooks, drivers, translators. Just after the first combat sortie 11.09.1941g. prior to the date of his departure 18.10.1941g. British pilots won 15 victories in the skies of the Soviet Arctic. Combat losses 151st Wing made a 'Hurricane' (pilot - Sergeant Smith was killed). As for the 'Hurricane' Mk IIB Tror (Provided with dust filter 'Vokes'), then they were originally intended for military operations in North Africa. However, probably hit the Vaenga for several reasons. The first - the British were trying to mislead German intelligence, uploading to transfer them to a Soviet aircraft carrier 'Argus' aircraft in tropical color and the same configuration. Another possible reason was the compactor sandy airfield Vayenga where filters came in handy. Perhaps, as well, because of the urgent need to send 'Hurricane' on the other theaters of war, the Soviet Union sent what was at the time at hand.
