Bf 109 force-landing at Gradina, USSR, on 8 April 1942
Hello,

I have a short note saying a Bf 109 did an emergency landing (Notlandung) at Gradina airfield on 8 April 1942 after an air battle. The pilot was unhurt.

I have nothing more on this event, especially no unit, and I would like if someone has an entry in a Luftwaffe loss database that may be this event.

AFAIK, the only Bf 109 losses this day on the East front were three aircraft of JG 77 (one destroyed and two damaged).

Thanks in advance

Laurent
