Re: Uffz Sawallisch JG 27
While reading JFV 6/I for the Stab/JG27 I saw that Obfw Erwin Sawallisch shot down on 21Sep41 at 09:52(10) and 09:55 (11) two I-153 at Leningrad. I didn't find any other JG's making a claim for I-153's. It appears that he might have shot down the I-153 flown by St. Lt. Viktor Mikhailovich Gavrilov (KIA) of 71 IAP KBF. It also listed Lt Mazurenko (WIA) and Pavel Ignatyevich Chinyakov (WIA) but it wasn't clear if their I-153 went down in the source. Chinyakov claimed a Bf-109 shot down and there is actually two JG27 Bf-109's shot down at that location.
