Re: IL-2 vs JG 54.
Hello Eugen
from the tread Kari gave:
“according to the book by Hannu Valtonen ("Lento-osasto Kuhlmey", based on Bundesarchiv documents) Hptm Herbert Aloe (FW 190A-6, "white 2", WNr 501214) disappeared at 13.40 8 km NNE Viipuri…
…Aloé was last heard when he reported that he was in air combat with enemy fighters…
…Hptm. Aloé also had lost contact to his wingman Fw. Huss in an earlier skirmish before he began his last combat with Soviet fighters...”
So place is OK, I cannot say nothing on the time but problem is that in his last message Aloé reported that he was in combat with fighters. He had also lost contact with his wingman.
Of course it is possible that after the skirmish with fighters Aloé met some Fw 190s and then attacked Il-2s with them but IMHO before drawing conclusion it would be good to check were there any fighter claims over the area.
