Re: JG 52 victories
I haven’t post on my “unit victories” in a while and I came across these for JG 52. The information comes from 12 BAD reporting.

Re: JG 52 victories
Yak-9, No.2715390 has to be a Yak-9M model, not D.
Gabor PS: For those, interested in JG 52 victories, our new book is right on the subject. True, it focuses on II./JG 52. It will list many of their 1944-1945 victories in details: https://www.helion.co.uk/military-hi...f852db2eb5b55a |
Re: JG 52 victories
Gabor, the D came from a source in Moscow in which a relative of the pilot was trying to find out the actual location of the crash.

Re: JG 52 victories
Thank you, but I am afraid it is incorrect. I am saying this because I think all Yak-9 batch after no.25 (at Factory No.153 in Novosibirsk) were Yak-9Ms. Also, all of my plane records around 2715390 from batch No.26, 27, 28... were Yak-9M version.
Too bad, I cannot attach quick pics here, but eg. in the 17 VA's April 1, 1945 AC inventory ALL Yak-9s between 2515380 - 5415377 (including two from the 27153xx series) were Yak-9M model! They simplified/unified the airframe production in the 'M' (modernized) version after batch No.25, because the location of the cockpit of the main 'D' and 'T' versions were in different spots in the fuselage. Thus maintenance and repair was difficult on the frontline airfields, so after batch No.25 they just built the 'M' version. Cheers, Gabor |

Re: JG 52 victories
No, because it was written on the JG 52 aerial victories claimed over Hungary in 1944-1945. (Other than Hungary, we also analyzed Erich Hartmann's May 8, 1945 Yak-9 claim over Brno for a special reason.)
Cheers, Gabor |
Re: JG 52 victories
Please do excuse me joining the thread about JG 52 claims and victories.
I first read Hauptmann Lipfert's book/war diary, in 1998 and am re-reading it now, again. Just for curiosity, since I do not research or write about JG 52 or any of their airmen, would you have (those who research the Eastern Front Aerial Combats) more details about two of his claims that he possibly claimed a Russian Ace? 23 January 1944 84th Aerial Victory - Lipfert - Kerch 07:08hs - YAK 7 Pg. 85: "I am M...., help me, I'm married and have a wife and children...Perhaps the matter would have bothered me for some time had not the same listening post brought news four days later (28 January), that my comrad M....was again racing lustily about the sky. He had come down safely by parachute and had then been fished out of the water by his comrades. Perhaps he later shot down some of us." 27 October 1944 152nd Aerial Victory - Lipfert -near Büd Sz.Mihaly 12:21 - YAK 7 Pg.147-148 from his memories: "The last Russian to be shot down must have been an ace.He wore several decorations, including the badge of "Hero of Soviet Union (HSU)". 11 December 1943 75th Aerial Victory - Lipfert - near Mayak - 11:37hs - YAK-7 Pg.68 from his memories: "The Russian carried out these maneuvers with such skill that I was simply unable to fire.....Had he succeeded, this skilled pilot would certainly have swept me from the sky or at least scored some hits...the Russian turned for his life, proving through his skill that the enemy had outstanding fliers and fighters too". MAYBE in the futur, some of you with extensive knowledge on the Eastern Front Aerial Air War (WW2) can re-write the Memories of Hauptmann Lipfert with a full detail account about his aerial victories (from the other side). This is one of the books I do cherish the most, from the Luftwaffe point of view. Adriano |
