Lw claims Far North Russia 1941

[BrianC]

Hi guys

I sincerely hope that you and your families are well - and stay that way.

Since some of the many experts on this forum may have time on their hands, I wonder if any can add/amend/comment on my self-compiled list of claims made by 1./JG77, 13./JG77, 14./JG77, Z-JG77 & Stab/ZG76 during 1941? I have used all known sources (available to me).

The * denotes speculated educated guess, based on my research.

Apologies for the untidy tabulation! Unable to rectify.

Any snippet of information appreciated.

Brian,

Obviously no Hurricane loses on the 27.09.41.

It was only 81 Sqn flying operations this day. (134 were training). Yes combat but no damage or loses.

regards,

Mark

Good to hear from you, Mark

You once indicated that you have note of many of Carganico's claims. Are you able to add or amend what I have listed? Thanks.

Take care, stay safe.

Hi Igorr

Great to hear from you again - we corresponded briefly regarding the Weyergang photos.

I've just been reading your excellent History of Z/JG5 (and the earlier Z-Staffel) on the sk.16 site. Do you plan to publish? May I use some of the material, please? Anything used will be fully acknowledged.

You may know that I am writing about the Far North and PQ convoys 1941-42. Due to the virus, publication date has been re-sheduled for early next year. Our mutual friend Valery Smirnov is now a co-author.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Stay safe

Brian (PLEASE RESPOND TO: briancullauthor@gmail.com)
