Re: Soviet Fighter Losses in Hungary 14 March 1945

Brief translation: Hungarian fighters were on free hunting in the Ozora-Simontornya area when they were ambushed by about 8-10 P-51s. Dogfight developed towards south. Lt. Forró pulled up to ~6000 m with the chasing Mustangs behind him, who were not really interested in the combat (perhaps running low on gas) and left him one by one. Then Lt. Forró started to challenge the last P-51 by pressing him to the ground. At very low altitude he was just chasing him, when suddenly a tall tree-line crossed their way. This was a perfect trap: Lt. Forró fired a long burst to the top of the trees and the Mustang pulled up, right into it...
