05/26/42 197 IAP vs ¿6./JG 5 & 10(Z)./JG 5?
hello,
info: 05/26/42 Reflecting a bombing raid 05/26/42, German aircraft raided the Taibola station. 10 Ju-88s took part in the raid, accompanied by 17 Me-109 and Me-110 fighters. On alarm, a pair of Hurricanes from 197 IAP ( 14th Army Air Force ), Art. Lieutenant F.P. Kuleshov and Lieutenant V.K. Rutkovsky . Soviet pilots attacked bombers. The first link of the Junkers hastily dropped bombs past the target, and the rest, without dropping bombs, fled. An unequal air battle ensued between the fighters. Art. Lieutenant Kuleshov crashed into a group of 10 fighters, and Lieutenant Rutkovsky - into a group of 7 fighters. Both Hurricanes were hit, but the pilots fought for 10 minutes. Rutkovsky shot down a Me-109 on a burning plane, after which he covered his leader. Only when falling on the plane that was completely knocked out did I jump with a parachute from a height of 70 meters and landed safely. Kuleshov on the plane, which received 129 holes, got out of the battle and safely sat down at his airfield. Both Soviet pilots were awarded the Order of the Red Banner. Sources of information: 1.

Отражение налета бомбардировщиков 26.05.42 г. немецкая авиация произвела налет на станцию Тайбола. В налете участвовали 10 Ю-88 в сопровождении 17 истребителей Ме-109 и Ме-110. По тревоге с аэродрома Кица поднялась пара Харрикейнов из 197 иап (ВВС 14 армии), ст. лейтенанта Ф.П.Кулешова и лейтенанта В.К.Рутковского. Советские летчики атаковали бомбардировщиков. Первое звено Юнкерсов поспешно сбросило бомбы мимо цели, а остальные, не сбросив бомб, скрылись. Между истребителями завязался неравный воздушный бой. Ст. лейтенант Кулешов врезался в группу 10 истребителей, а лейтенант Рутковский - в группу из 7 истребителей. Оба Харрикейна были подбиты, но летчики в течение 10 минут вели бой. Рутковский на горящем самолете сбил Ме-109, после чего прикрывал своего ведущего. Лишь падая на окончательно подбитом самолете, с высоты 70 метров выпрыгнул с парашютом методом срыва и благополучно приземлился. Кулешов на самолете, получившем 129 пробоин, вышел из боя и благополучно сел на свой аэродром. Оба советских летчика были награждены орденами Красного Знамени. Источники информации: 1.
