Re: Russian pilot captured Bf109
Brian, The only one I found in JFV 9/I for the 21Jan42 in the Kalinin Front area was 3./JG52 Lt. Ernst Gelich v. Luftkampf Chwljepen 100% Bf109F-2 (9547) ge. 3+. Poland seems a far stretch from the Kalinin Front in Jan42. I don't really see Il-2's taking off for a figther interception. Also a captured Bf109 would be a photo shoot that would be taken advantage of at that time.
