Re: Graf von Vitzthum
Dean,
The unit responsible for his death seems to be the I-16 and Yak-1 equiped 32 IAP ChF. Hard to say which pilot unless you know the time of day. The aces Mikhail Vasilevich Avdeev claimed 1 Bf 109 on the 25th but Arshak Asturovich Allakherdov claimed 2 Bf 109. Allakherdov claimed his last at 18:07 (Moscow). All were in the area of Chervonyy Chaban. Graf von Vitzthum was mentioned in Miroslav Morozov's book (Russian) on Sevastopol.They both flew the Yak-1.
