Re: JG 51 victories (Part 2)
Returning to the 12.10.41 combats, I have found that Ml.Lt. Dmitrii Vasilevich Kokorev of 124 IAP was KIA. Can anyone confirm if this was Heinrich Kloepper's (11 JG 51) claim for an I-18 at 1605.

Additionally, Adolf Borchers and Bernd Gallowitsch (also of IV Gruppe) claimed PS-84/Li-2s just after midday. Were these from 7 DBAP? Crews of pilots Babayev, Penin, Butylin, Plakhov, Zaitsev and Kozlov all failed to return. could these have actually been TB-3s? One source credits Guenther Luetzow of Stab/JG 3 with claiming one of this type during the day.
