Attack on the airfield at Kursk-West
On 30May42 at 07:15(Moscow) Il-2's attacked the airfield at Kursk-West. On leaving the LaGG-3 escorts were engaged by "Messerschmitt" Bf 109's and suffered two lost. I looked through the JG units and found no claims for the German time except IV/JG51 which was around Rzhev to the north. Were the Rumanians stationed there with their 109's or maybe the Italians with Macchi C.202's? Are maybe one the German ground-support units equiped with Bf 109E's?
