Hi Carl,

thank you so much for this extremely important data. This date helped me to identify the pilots who were involved in this battle form "the other" side. It is so interesting though that this incident happened still in 1944, since so far all of Odnocenov's and Marakulin's biographies I read stated February, 1945, - without the day. (Maybe this was wrong.)

Although it is not related to this particular incident, but please tell me if you have any data on another interesting Taran event (because I couldn't find it listed in the Taran lists I know): La-5 pilot, Nikolay Selivanov from the Soviet 194. IAD rammed a Junkers plane and destroyed it in March, 1945, near the Drava river.


Can you tell me to which of the 3 IAPs of the 194. IAD did Selivanov belong to? 530th? 848th? 56th? Where did these planes crash exactly? (BTW, Selivanov survived, OK)

Many thanks,

Gabor
