Hi Andrey

The mikrofilms show forty-seven claims this day. Of these six were I-16/Rata's, all of these must have been in the South as were claimed by II./ZG1 and III./JG52:-

Oblt Karl-Heinrich Matern 0815 hrs 200 metres II./ZG1
Ofw Heinrich Borgen 0820 hrs 200 metres II./ZG1
Lt Egon Albrecht 0825 hrs 50 metres II./ZG1
Uffz Werner Hohenberg 0755 hrs 800 metres 8./JG52(grid ref.44814)
Fw Werner Mielenz 0915 hrs 900 metres 9./JG52(grid ref.44843)
Lt Karl Maliva 0852 hrs 600 metres 8./JG52(grid ref.44751)

The grid references relate to an area of around Ordshonikidse, Kaukasus, in each case a little North, but for Maliva just a few km's North-East.

THere are no AG unit claims this day, just JG and ZG units, and if one of these six I-16/Rata claims was made by a lone pilot, it should hve be marked A.S.M, and none were.

Keep well

Johannes
