Re: JG 51 victories (Part 2)
I found this one concerning the 27 Feb 1942 Soviet North West Front which is the Staraya Russa - Demyansk - Kholm section of the eastern front. U-2 from 253 IAP PVO was attacked by a "Me-115" in which the passenger (Senior Clerk) Ml. S-t. Vasiliy Vasil'evich Pestov was killed and buried at Staryy Dvor, Leningrad Obl.
This was not listed to III./JG 3 and JG 54. I looked at the only other unit there in JFV 9/I and it only has 1./JG 51 no name, one aircraft (no type) 15:10. This was obviously a liason transport plane and not one of the "R-5" that III./JG 3 was claiming on the 26 Feb 1942.
