Re: Kapitan Ivanov, KIA 2.3.44
Nikita: Some more details from Buchner: A group of ca. 10 Yaks attacked their AF successfull. Only one lagged behind and Buchner shot that one down after a "10 minutes"-dogfight. The pilot was found, this "Kapitan Ivanov": blond guy, "czarist" shoulder-pieces on uniform (Guards unit?), his papers indicating 350 missions flown. The shot down plane was identified as Yak-9.
It is possible that Buchner confuses something, but at least the date and type of the claim are documented in his logbook. He also claimed a Yak in the Crimea in May1944. But I doubt that in these days the Germans had time for checking out a shot-down plane... Kari: Yes, that is the area where the kill was claimed, near a Luftwaffe-AF at "Karankut" (german naming). Thx for the link to that tool, it seems to be fantastic!
