Losses of JG51 on June 30, 1943.

[Courtois Laurent]

On June 30, 1943, the Soviets claimed 6 victories against 6 FW-190s. 3 west of the Beliov - Orel axis claimed by the 1st VA. 3 east of the Beliov - Orel axis claimed by the 15th VA. It seems to me that this day the JG51 has only one plane damaged by a pilot error, another on engine failure and a last in a fight. Unfortunately my sources are fragmentary, does anyone have more info? thanks in advance

Those losses can likely be found on RL 2-III/1190 (Bd19 - 3-Jun - 2-Jul-43) or RL 2-III/1191 - Bd20 - 3-Jul - 2-Aug-43 available from BAMA via Invenio. (See Sticky at top of site marked GQM Verluste und Unfälle.)
