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 |

Chronicle of Great Patriotic War... writes:
at the dawn 9 Pe-2 bombed Luostari. From 9 Pe-3 which were flying to bomb Banak four were attacked by enemy fighters (near Ischma?) and didn't return from sortie. No unit is given for both groups, but this webpage claims that second group was from 121. BAP (and gives names of people involved): http://igor-ktb.livejournal.com/5765.html |

Re: One for our Russian experts - Pe-2s lost 11 Sept 1942
Hi Andrus
Thanks for the lead - most useful. I have a note that two Pe-3s of 13-AP/SF were lost on operations on 4 November 1942, but they don't appear in the journal. Have you any information, please? Are there similar 'journals' for other areas for the Far North, including air operations? Best Brian Last edited by Brian; 17th April 2017 at 23:57. |
