Re: JG 52 versus Soviet VVC May 20,44
Andrew
After further clarifications the Royal Romanian Air Force didn't report any losses on that day,neither any of my Russian collegues researching the subject could locate the claimed IL-2's and the P-39's. The Russian claims were absolutely fictious ,interesting to note that the most of the Russian claims were by at least 8 HSU recepients and with great probability keen for further promotions and more fame part of a structured communist system dictating politics and selective promotion rather airmanship & quality. Generally speaking despite such ridiculos figures , this won't question fine pilots such as Retchkalov, Evstigneev ,Guleaev, Klubov, Koshedub , Egorov, Arhipenko ,Pokrishkin etc who were acting on my research area. Maybe you have the possibility to check the losses of 2./NAGr.14 which at time was located at Comrat not that far from Griogoriopol and those of KG 55 located at Focsani airfield. One Russian pilot claimed a Taran on one of those out of 4 HE-111 claimed , but was killed during an attempted landing. Thanks in advance |
