12 Jan 1943 Stalingrad Bf 109s
According to the book "Luftwaffe War Diaries" On 16 January 1943 6 Bf 109s eluded the Russians at Pitomnik airfield and were ordered to go to Gumrak airfield. After 5 crashed while trying to land the 6th aircraft flown by Obltn Lukas vered off in time and flew west. Does anyone have any information on the unit or units and aircrew involved. as well as info on their fates. They are most likely members of JG 3. Thanks in advance.
