Re: Mustangs lost over Hungary on 14 October 1944
4 La-5s of 5 VA, 192 IAP were escorting 6 IL-2s into the Sáránd (Hungary) area at 16:40 PM (Moscow time). When leaving the target, 2 Fw 190s attacked the Shturmoviks. A pair of La-5s immediately turned on the Fw 190s when suddenly another 6 Fw 190s joined the battle. La-5FN (S/N.: 39212958, engine no.: 8213717) was hit, ml.lt Федосеев Петр Петрович bailed out of his burning plane. 3 Fw 190s were also reported to be shot down. A second La-5FN crashlanded back at their airfield, probably due to severe combat damages received from the Fw 190s, but the pilot (Galkin) was OK.
