claim of Lt. G.A. Baevskiy 5 GIAP 12Dec43
I'm sure a lot of people have read the rescue of Lt Georgiy Arturovich Baevskiy (WIA) 5 GIAP (11 GIAD) who's La-5 was shot down and Lt. Petr Terent'evich Kal'sin who landed and rescued him in the snow (www.allaces.ru in the CCCP episode for the 12Dec43). It doesn't say how he was shot down and if it was a fighter why didn't they get Kal'sin when he landed. I looked through JFV 12/II and there is nothing for the area of Nikopol, Ukraine to match it. On checking Mikhail Bykov's book on Soviet aces it turns out that Baevskiy was in the area SE of Dolgintsevo shooting down a Fw 189 his 17th personal victory. I "suspect" that he got to close to his victim. Were there any Fw 189 shot down or damaged in that area on the 12Dec43?
