Re: IL-10 losses

That Hungarian pilot at the Il-2's tail is the youngest pilot of the Fw 189 equipped Hungarian 3/1. short range resonnaissance squadron. His rank is szakaszvezető (Unteroffizier). The aircraft was brought down by a German fighter, close to their base, Kharkov-Grobly (that 'somewhere' where this story appeared is my aces book, where I posted a different photo of the wreck with a different pilot). The photo was taken on the 5th of July, 1943 after the huge air battle over the city.
