Re: Yak 3-looking for information

Thanks Nikita, the point is yours:

1. Stadnichenko was shot down on Yak-9, not Yak-3. Serial № 1615342
-I read the personal file mentioned above, haven't checked the serials specifically
2. Area given in operational documents is "Kibelkut"
-Kibelkut is Hungarian "Köbölkút" (now called: Gbelce) It is in the same area (the very next settlement), so it still can be Muzsla.
3. Surely by Lipfert, time matches.
-I agree. Sorry, I quoted the name of German pilot just from memory, but remembered the twin victories. You are right, Lipfert claimed both, not Hartmann.

Cheers,

Gabor
