Re: JG 51 victories (Part 2)

Hello,

New one claimed identified, this time for the 15(span) J51.

01.05.43Oblt. A. Pérez-Gonzáles15. (Span)/JG 51 LaGG-3 44 172: at 1.800 m.12.10Film C. 2032/II Anerk: Nr. 37.

Soviet report : (I tanslate a handwritting’s report, i could have done some misreading sorry)

At 12h45 (soviet times -> 11h45 german times) 4 Yak-7, leader lieutnant Strujkin carried out reconnaissance of the aerodrome of Sechtcha, during the return in the secteur of Belitsa (35894), the Yak were suddenly attacked by one FW-190. as a result, the pilot ml.lt Grachev was shot down, who landed in a forest on a clearing 10 km southwest of Betlitsa (34233).

The point given by the Soviets is 22 km NW of that given by the Spanish pilot, it seems a lot, but in the error path provided by the examples of discoveries of aircraft wreckage provided by the Russian research groups .
The Soviets have identified an FW-190, since April 26 the 15/JG1 is equipped with FW-190A3.
The time matches. The victory is therefore "scientifically" demonstrated.
