Re: losse of an Il-2 (Hungarian Border) 14/03/45
Hi Gabor,
There are two documents I'm aware of about the incident in question on 14 March:
- operational report No.42 of 10 GShAD at 18.00 hrs on 14.3.45. stating that Il-2 failed to return and was lost NE of Dravaszabolcs after a fight with two Bf 109s
- summary report No.115 of the Group of Aviation Divisions (made of 10 GShAD and 236 IAD) from 6.4.45. stating that on 14.3.45. one Bf 109 was damaged in air combat while a 'Soviet Il-2 (leit Sidelnikov)' has been shot down in return near Dravaszabolcs.
From what you wrote, it seems that the plane has been eventually salvaged. Question remains who flew the Bf 109s? Hungarians or Germans?
