Re: LaGG-5 shot down by Hs 129 0n 19 March 1944
The real date of air combat 4 La-5 vs 4 "Ju 88", that I pointed as 18.03. could also be 17.03. because description of the fight date is 17.03. But 2 VA's combat journal reports 2 Ju 88 downed by 19 IAP at 18.03. and no one Ju 88 at 17.03. So I suppose that correct date is 18.03. Until there is no combat lournal of 19 IAP, its difficult to prove it.
Other losses of 2nd VA 19.03.44 are: 1 Yak of 331 IAD, 1 Il-2 of 5th ShAK and 2 Pe-2 of 202 BAD.
Tim, may I Know, where did Franz Birnbaum fly in october 1944? Southern Poland I believe?
