Re: Gerhard Lautenschlager's death on 16 May 42
Found my answer (sort of) in Black Cross Red Star volume #2 by Christer Bergstroem. It has in that book that Nowotny was his wingman and shot the P-40 off of Lautenschlager's tail but to late. In Prien's JFV 9/III Nowotny shot down a P-40 but shortly afterwards Lautenschlager shot down an I-16. The Soviet account states that he was last seen leaving to the south of Shum but of course not by name.
