Re: Something wrong in the info about the loss of the Bf109 (Uffz Kerkhoff) - Kuban 30.Apr.43

Why KIA? Makarov (57.GIAP) on Spitfire claimed a Bf109 on 08:40 msc = 07:40 and wasn't damaged himself. He not observed the fall of the Bf109 but a bit later observed a German bailer NE Abinskaja [if he was a German and not Soviet bailer really].

But it isn't clear whether it was dogfight when Kerkhoff was shot down
