One for our Russian experts - Pe-2s lost 11 Sept 1942
Hi guys
My records show that 1Esk/121-BAP lost four Pe-2s during a raid on Petsamo on 11 September 1942. One source states that Uffz Lehner (three) and Fw Fobrose of 2./JG5 accounted for them, while another source implies that they fell to 8./JG5's Fw Beyer (three) and Uffz Klante - OR - where these two different actions on the same date? Cheers Brian |

Excellent, Michel
Do we know identities of the crews of the two shot down aircraft of 29-BAP? Cheers Brian |

In 1st plane it says: plane was 'shot down by flak'. All MIA or KIA.
2nd plane: pilot wounded (no name mentioned as returned from own territory), Smirnov bailed out but died, Levakov went down with the plane (KIA). Gabor |
