Eastern front Bf 110 loss
Does anybody have info on Eastern Front losses of Bf 110 on 8 April 1942 near Murmansk? Four Hurricanes and two Tomahawks of the 20 GIAP reported fight with a formation of 15 Ju87s escorted by a Bf110s and later also with some Bf 109s. Seems that the Ju87s belonged to I/StG5 and the Bf 110 to 10.(Z)/JG5. The Soviets reported five victories against one loss with three of the victories being achieved through air ramming (amazingly, two of those rammings carried out by one pilot, St.Lt. Khlobystov).
Thanks in advance
Jan
