Re: JG 51 victories (Part 2)
5th July 1943.
Concerning the Taravkov death the report of the 1st VA give : At 8:05 p.m., 4 Yak-7s fought against 4 FW-190s following which 3 FW-190s were shot down and crushed near Kouïava station. ( 10km north Lioudinovo, Gradnez 44198) Loss: During the return to his airfield 10 km south of Sukhinitchi, pilot Torovkov parachuted while his Yak-7 was flying in an inverted position. The parachute did not open, the pilot died. No German claim matches, which seems normal since the Yak-7 flew 70 km before the pilot fatally tried to parachute. Concerning the Soviet claims can be 2/3 of overclaiming if we consider that Egon Raukes lost his life in this fight 3./J.G.54 Fl.Pl. Karatschew, absturz nach luftkampf FW-190 A5 n° 1301, 100%, Uffz, Raukes Egon, todt - (N°73/RL_2_III_1191)
