42 GIAP on the 14 Mar 1943

[Nokose]

I was looking for another VVS loss and ran across one that led into this day for the 42 GIAP. It seems from reading www.allaces.ru for that date that 14 Yak-1 led by Gds. Kapt. Nikolay Kuz'mich Naumchik attacked the airfield at Temryuk - Kosachushka. It appears that the Bf 109s that they ran into at the airfield were from the 13.(Slow)/JG 52 which Uffz. Jozelf Stauder claimed a LaGG-3 at 05:07 and Lt. Jan Gerthofer a LaGG-3 at 05:10. As JFV 12/III hasn't come out yet I don't know if the 13./JG 52 lost in any Bf 109. The 42 GIAP claimed 5 Fw 189 and 2 Ju 52 destroyed on the ground. I don't know what units they were from or if they were actually lost. The 42 GIAP claimed to have shot down 5 "Me-109".

Lt. Akhmet-Khan Talovich Kankoshev his 1st personal a Me-109 Temryukskiy Bay
Gds. Kapt Nikolay Kuz'mich Naumchik his 9th Me-109 Akhtanizovskiy estuary
Lt. Ivan Mikhaylovich Gorbunov his 2nd Me-109 NE of Gorlachev
Serz. Vladimir Anatol'evich Tsvetaev his 2nd Me-109 Verkhesneblievskaya

Don't know who the 5th score was in the 42 GIAP.

The II/JG 52 was involved but had no losses but one claim.
4./JG 52 Fw Hans Gleissner LaGG-3 (27) 05:45 34Ost/86 641. If you check its in the same location that Gorbunov claimed his 2nd and he had to land his burning Yak.

The 42 GIAP had one loss that I found the Yak-1 Ml. Lt. Dmitriy Ermolaevich Gubenko (MIA).
