Re: 22 May 1943 Great Stuka slaughter at Kursk
 

Hello Kris
thanks a lot for the LW figter pilots' claims!
So at least I. & III./JG 51 and I./JG 26 or at least parts of them made the escort force.

"I have also losses II./StG 1"

It would be nice to have the info, if it wasn't too much trouble. I have the basic info from http://airwar.ru/history/av2ww/axis/...-31-05-43.html
but I have no crew member info and a couple of the W.Nrn had only 3 digits, maybe the first digit has been 0 on these cases and it has been lost because of the database software.


Thankfully
Juha
