I'm sorry, I remembered wrong. It's from this book:

http://www.amazon.com/Ghost-Bombers-Moonlight-Luftwaffe-Operations/dp/1903223156

I'm not going to read through all 200 pages to find it again (I have a quote collection doc I use). However, the author also mention that intercept attempt in his online collection of corrections and addendum. He claims his source is mostly the National Archives in London.

I think it may actually be there I first saw it before buying the book.

What do you mean?  We have the I-16, La-5, La-7, Yak-9, P-39, A-20, Hurricane, and Spitfire!  ;)

Actually, I'd love to see the Yak-1, LaGG-3, and Pe-2 added -- those are some of the top planes on my list of preferences.

P39, A20, Hurricane and spitfire are not russian planes. they were either american/british planes given to the USSR by the lend-lease act. so what we really have for commie planes are the I16-La5FN/La7 and the Yak 9-T/U

EDIT: forgot the IL-2  :o

True, that was my small attempt at humor.  However, because the Soviets did use a fair number of those aircraft (usage numbers below), my post was partly in jest and partly not.

Yak-9, 16769
La-5, 9920
I-16, 9004
Yak-1, 8720
Yak-7, 6339
LaGG-3, 6258
La-7, 5753
P-39, 5007 (from US)
Yak-3, 4848
MiG-3, 3120
Hurricane, 2952 (from UK)
P-63, 2421 (from US)
Spitfire, 1331 (from UK)

Il-2, 29937

Pe-2, 11427
SB-2, 6656
Il-4, 5256
A-20, 2700 (from US)
Tu-2, 2527
DB-3, 1528

Egads.  That is a rather larger oversight on my part.  :o

AFAIK it didn't work as was never fielded as per your "ripped apart".

What have you found that it worked?

It doesn't matter (won't be in AH hangar), but going thru notes (notes of notes, so no page #), Mankau also says it passed trials.

In the planning point on attack tactics against bomber formations it is mentioned that whole salvos can be fired from the launcher into the formation; the seven-barreled weapon is now available.
