Re: Two unknown claims (10./ZG1?) 17.Jun.43

Hello Johannes,

Kociok indeed had attacked the "Bostons" at night 16/17.Jun.43 near Kerch. Two B-3 were lost - according to other crews reports, one was downed by fighter and one - by AA fire.

As for 09:50+ claims: Luftwaffe sometimes had used the recce planes to protect the convoys in the areas where appearance of Soviet fighters was unlikely. Don't know if it possible that claims were their.

Kind Regards,
Andrey
