Re: Joachim Müncheberg's 100 victory

I can confirm what NBE1942 states.

My personal conclusion is that it might have been the La-5 which 49 IAP lost during an interception of Ju 87s on that day. By this time, the Germans were not aware of the fact that the Soviets used La-5s in this sector (49 IAP brought the type into action only in August 1942). Thus, for example I./JG 52 recorded the first La-5s which they shot down in August 1942 as "I-180".
