Russian pilot captured Bf109
"21 January 1942: Lt Semion Arkadyevich Kuznetzov, a flight commander in an IL-2 Shturmovik fighter squadron, was shot down by a Bf109 over Vulko Ostrolenkovo (Poland) and crash-landed in a field. The Messerschmitt landed nearby and Kuznetzov, who was hiding, saw the pilot jump out, Luger in hand, who then closely inspected the crash-landed IL-2. Kuznetzov seized the chance and spinted over to the Messerschmitt and although in a strange aircraft, took-off and flew back to his airfield on the Kalinin front. As he approached the airfield, two IL-2s from his squadron took off to intercept but he managed to evade and landed safely." Hi guys Did this really happen? If so, who was the German pilot and his fate? Cheers Brian
