Re: IL-2 vs JG 54.

Hi guys!

THX for all Your replyes!

I have no much free time to translate ALL docs and other things (because I've just returned from hospital, hardly avoiding leg amputation - now its ok, I healed it), but I'll do my best.

2 yogybär: thx for enclose the location. Tikhomirov says:

-----------
" In october 44 we were transferred to Pyarnu for taking art in liberation of isles Esel and Dago. Once a time - I was not in that mission but witness sayd to me - pair of Fw190 attacked a formation of IL-2's on alt 500m.
..........
This time "Fokke's" exit from attack in front of Il-2's, and it was need only to press the buttons.

Leading Fw190 was hit by several 23mm shells in fuzelage and wings and exploded so hard that left visible only huge cloud of smoke and falling part of tail with tailwheel.

His wingmen was hit by only one 23mm shell straight in cockpit, and began fast climbing. Pilot, who told me this story - followed him in climb and going to attack - but when he enclose to Fw190 - he saw terrible picture: board of fuzelage was gone, cockpitglass was throun away, and inside the cock was bloody smash mixed pieses of body and parts of interior...He was so amaized that could not shoot, and uncontrolled Fw190 made 2-3 loops and spinned into sea..."
--------------
The comments says: This combat took place 24 10 44, when during combat mission 12:37 - 15:46, IL-2 pilots claimed 2 x Fw190 shot down: Ltn.Gavrilov (personal) and serjants Bochkaryov and Solov'yov (shared).

About Aloe - it need to ask Owl99 to know may be any VVS fighters claims in that area...

Quote:
took off 6 FW 190s under Hptm. Aloé’s leadership for Freie Jagd over Viipuri.
Chekin reports say: 4 Fw190... Hmm, I dont know what it means really. Another group of 4 x Fw190? Same group but without Aloe Rotte?

BTW: about "fw190 in the lake" - my friend have some relations with russian "black diggers". I dont like them because of various things, but... Once he told me that they found Fw190 in river WSW from my sity (prev.name - Stalingrad). It is Fw190 for sure - they took part of control stick, and piece of V-Stab. Anyway - they bury pilot, and for THIS I may say - I am not angry on them. Because almost all other "BD" dont care about it. It seems for me that that Fw190 could be from Schl.G 1 or something..
