Re: Il-2 pilots with 10 or more aerial kills
József Bejczy was downed by flak at Abony-SE on November 4, 1944 indeed in his Bf 109 G-6/U2, c/n: 126724, engine: 00205587, but just because they attacked Soviet tanks, it could be of anything. The Soviets pulled a wall of fire from all guns they had. I would say it was Army AAA (2nd UF, 7th Guards Army, 5 зенад (670, 743, 1119, or 1181 зенап).

Yes, indeed. I do not remember the article in detail, but the general conclusion was that RP Typhoon did much more sense on ETO. I guess that cannon armed aircraft stood little chance against both fighters and flak, and it was not so easy to get a proper aim in Normandy like landscape. |
Re: Il-2 pilots with 10 or more aerial kills
Hello there,
hope you had a good Xmas Eve. This year I didn't wish for new airwar books because I still have so many unread books left. But next year I think I will acquire OSPREY's "Ju 87D/G STUKA versus T-34". Best greetings from Switzerland, Michael |
