JG 52 victories

[Nokose]

After post# 117 I saw something to check on Gennadin Novikov. I looked at the records for 82 GBAP but what I was looking for didn’t go to that date. I then checked the 1 GBAD and sure enough I found him there but a 2nd Pe-2 it wasn’t possible to read the pilot’s name. So off I went to the OBD Memorial and found Novikov listed as MIA but later returned.

15 April 1944
The Pe-2s of the 82 GBAP made a bomber attack on a German tank column at 7 km west of Tyrgu-Frumos. They were attacked by Bf 109s and had 2 Pe-2 shot down.
Pe-2 82 GBAP Gds. Lt. Gennadin Novikov escaped by parachute after being wounded.
Pe-2 82 GBAP Gds. Lt. Aleksandr Shkuro and crew listed at MIA.

From Tony Woods list there is two possibilities but if Prien’s next volume has any additional victors for that time, I will revisit this post for corrections.
