Thanks, Gordon
Any information about his biography? BTW: I am not sure, that "IL-4" is a "IL-4 2-engined bomber"... I think it it usual missindentification, & this "IL-4" is same as "IL-2 mit heckschutze", "IL-5", "IL-7", "IL-9" With best wishes, Eugen. |

Now Il-4 was not a misidentifciation of the Il-2, it was a two-engined medium bomber (also called DB-3 IIRC).
This website confirmed it ws the DB-3, and is displaying a picture of it: http://www.ww2guide.com/russianb.shtml |

Another claim on 29.12.42 for an Il-2. Herrmann was awarded the Deutsches Kreuz in Gold on 12.07.43.

Thx for info: about IL-2 on 1942 - i found it in lists, thx.. Quote:
But it seemd to me very strange a lots of claims over Lang Range Bomber Aviation... May be thay attacked german airfields, or... I dunno, may be I./ZG 1 "Wespe" was on patrolling missions... I will ask my friend-historians from Russia to clear this, & may be I will find the name of regiments of that bombers... |
