Re: Luftwaffe mis-identification of Jak-11...
Hi,
Jak-11 are probably Jak-3, Duttmann and other JG52 aces have several Jak-11 entries in the victory list from late '44-1945, but I think that among Jak fighter claims was misidentification too. for example in german victory list of 1942 was't any Jak 9 claims, but in the Stalingrad sector VVS used them and losses a number of them (432 IAP in september at least 8 in a day). I wonder that some pilot claimed in the same engagement both Jak-1 and Jak-9, but this fighter are very similar and in a dogfight at great speed is very difficult to identify them correctly, so my wonder for detailed model in the claims..... alessandro
