27 July 1941
16:30 (Moscow) 7 I-16 from 87 IAP attacked the airfield at Fursy to the west of Belaja-Zerkow (Bia Tserkva, Ukraine). 5 of the I-16 were listed as failure to return from combat mission, 2 of which made emergency landings at Pereyaslav.

Lt. Walter Zellot 1./JG 53 I-16 (9) 15:00 north of Belaja-Zerkow
Lt. Helmut Macher 2./JG 53 I-16 () 15:15

The other I-16 fell to the airfield’s AAA and listed as a witness for the flak unit Lt. Schiess of Stab/JG 53. In Prien’s JFV 6/II there is listed a a Lt. Franz Schiehs of Stab/JG 53, so did Prien’s list misspell Schiess’s name?

The names of the pilots of the 87 IAP are available but who fell to flak and who to fighters is not known.
