Re: 659 IAP KOLDUNOV
Hi Paul,
No, several Ju 52s were shot down by soviet daylight fighters in the first part of January, 1945. Also, many were lost due to shelling of the landing zones, or during night (Boston) bombing of their home base, accidents, etc. Both January 3 and 18, 1945 were brutal days for the 17 VA: On January 3, 1945 they lost 13 IL-2, 3 La-5 (2 La-5F and a La-5FN), 8 Yak-9, 1 Yak-1b (S/n: 22167) and a Po-2 (S/n: 3984). On January 18, 1945 they lost 2 Bostons, 15 IL-2, 2 La-5FN, 1 Yak-9T (S/n: 1815361). (-All serials, crews, details known-) Gabor
