Re: claim of Lt. G.A. Baevskiy 5 GIAP 12Dec43
Yes, that is possible but a smoking aircraft is a tempting target as it also puts the wingman in danger defending him. The thing that I was looking at was the distance between Dolgintsevo and Nikopol between the either first or possible second dogfight. I would also like to know if the Fw 189 went down or escaped damaged from this encounter. Baevskiy didn't return to scoring in combat again until 28Feb45 on claiming two Fw 190 at Nimitz and Egel. The unfortunate Kil'sin would only survive until the 20Dec43 before going MIA. His final score was 15 personal.
