IL-2 vs JG 54.
Hi all!
I think it would be interesting for JG 54 researchers.
I found very interesting combat report of IL-2 pilot, who claim Fw190 over Viipuri area on 21 06 1944.
I will translate it tomorrow. Also, some scemes of combat will be attached.
AFAIK, the only Fw190 in that region were II./JG 54.
According JG 54 losslist, it could be:
Hptm. Aloe Herbert, 31 abschusse experten, StaKa 4./JG 54, Fw190A-5 (150)1214 "we2 +" 100% Gebiet Viipurin
or
Uffz. Erich Knöbel from 5./JG 54, Fw190A-6 530341 "sw 20 +" 100% Nordw. Koivisto, mentioned as killed in LK with IL-2"
So, how far Koivisto from Viipurin?
Info from combat report says that Fw190 crashed the earth ~ 5km from frontline after took hits in engine and cockpit from fire of backgunner of leading IL-2.
S!
P.S. Tomorrow I'll translatethat report and post here.
