Re: Gerhard Barkhorn vs Hurricane of VVS

Hello,
In the period from 10 to 15 July 1942, 46 IAP, 180 IAP and 191 IAP left the 235 IAD and went to be recruited in Ivanovo.
On 07/22/1942, only 436 IAP flew on a combat mission on Hurricane aircraft. By order of 235 IAD, on that day, 156 IAP and 436 IAP were to fly out to escort IL-2 from 206 ShAD to the areas of the settlements of Pokrovsky, Morozovsky, Prishib, Obryvsky. The time of the meeting of attack aircraft with escort fighters over the Nizhne-Kumsky airfield, according to the plan, was at 7.30-8.30; 13.00-14.00 and 17.00-18.00.

According to the data of material losses, 5 Hurricane aircraft were lost 436 IAP on 07/22/1942 (4 were shot down by fighters and 1 burned down after an emergency landing on uneven terrain).
On July 22, 1942, only Lieutenant Mikhail Akimovich Skachkov died from the 436 IAP.
Pilots 436 IAP claims 1 Ju-87 (farm No. 2 area) and 5 Bf-109 (Shiroko-Atamanovsky, Kupyansk and Alexandrovsky localities area)
Best regards,
Kirill

Well,so my sources (Bergström) are wrong (8 hurricanes lost)...the victim of Barkhorn belongs to 436 IAP.

Regards
