JG 51 victories (Part 2)
I tried searching for my original post but couldn't seem to find it. If anyone notes a repeat in the future as I know someone has copied them let me know. There are a lot of Russian aviators listed as MIA and more of these are removed from the list every year and given a proper burial. Sometimes just an aircraft is recovered. I find some victories listed in Russian text. I'll try to list them here as related to JG 51. I'll list only the name of the "Soviet" pilot instead of the entire crew of bombers when I can determine them.
12 Oct 1941
Pe-2 57 SBAP (deputy AE co.) Lt. D.D. Gavrilov (bailed and survived) crashed at Medyn'. Attacked by 3 Bf 109 at Ilyinskoe (20 km west of Malyaroslavets).
Lt. Hans Boos Stab IV/JG 51 Pe-2 (46) 14:25 no location given.
This victory matches the Soviet combat mission time of the loss and this was the area that Boos was flying. No other pilots claiming Pe-2 during that time.
