Re: Joachim Müncheberg's 100 victory

I have little doubt that Muncheberg clashed with Aircobras of 153 IAP. At least he saw several of them in Kubinka area. Judging by place of claims Muncheberg and his wingman (BTW, who was it for this flight?) were on free hunt far on the enemy territory. No Soviet units indicated any contact with enemy exept 146 IAP and 179 IAP. One La-5 failed to return and one Yak-7 was damaged in combat. This happened early in the morning.
One Hurricane of 179 IAP was shot down, pilot bailed out. The place and time of incident is far from that listed by Muncheberg.
No other Soviet units reported any claims or losses.
No P-40s equipped units were presented there...
