Re: JG 52 victories
4 April 1944
2 Yak-9D of 728 IAP attempted to take off from the airfield at Zubiv, Ukraine as their field was under attack by III/JG 52. The Yak-9D flown by Starshiy Leytenant Arknip Melashenko was shot down but landed on the fuselage and the fighter was sent to the rear repair shop because of the damage. Melashenko was unharmed. The 728 IAP had 13 Yak-9D damaged by bullet holes from the strafing. Oberleutnant Frederich Obleser 8./JG 52 claimed a LaGG (93) at 14:03 at an altitude of 50 meters. In Prien’s JFV 15/II has the date as the 3 April 44, which is possibly a mistake but in Tony Woods list it has 4 April 1944. Last edited by Nokose; 24th December 2023 at 17:46.
