Re: JG 54 loss on 28 Jun 1944

Vesa fought two times on that day: 09.00-10.00 and 10.25-11.10. He claimed two Il-2s during the first flight and was shot down during the second. This second flight was with 3 other Bf 109s of 3./HLeLv 24 (MT-436, MT-439 and MT-440).

Of course also other sorties, as that 11.00-12.10 of 1./HLeLv 24 and 2./HLeLv 24, are possible, because there were a lot of flights on that morning. However, MT-438 is the only one, which can be considered a loss, although this aircraft was later repaired.
