Lt. L.G. Bùtelin from the 12 Fighter Regiment (USSR)
On 23 July 1941 a formation Ju 88 of KG 54 was intercepted by Sowjet fighters near Uman. On of the fighters collides with a Ju 88. According to a German source, the pilot should have been Lt. L.G. Bùtelin from the 12 Fighter Regiment.
Is the any info available on this pilot or unit? Peter |

Hello Peter,
According to Soviet research, Butelin was probably killed while ramming a Ju 88 from KG 51 over Stanislav. http://surfcity.kund.dalnet.se/soviet_butelin.htm https://warspot.ru/7684-posledniy-do...v-i-edelveysov Kind regards/Håkan

Re: Lt. L.G. Bùtelin from the 12 Fighter Regiment (USSR)
According to the Soviet-time "Taran-encyclopedia" in three volumes published by A.D. Zajtsev 1984-1985 in Monino Jn.Lt. Leonid Georgiyevich Butelin (12 IAP) perfomed his suicide-taran early morning 22 June 1941 near his AF base av Stanislav in Western Ukraine (= only recently occupied ex-Polish territory).
On 23 July 1941 two tarans were performed at unspecified locations on the "Southern front" regions and two tarans south-west of Leningrad. |
