Hello all, Who can please provide more details on the Russian DB-3 losses on 23 June 41 when a formation of Me 109 of II./Jagdgeschwader 3 engaged a formation of eight DB-3 east of Wlodzimierz? Of these eight Russian planes six were claimed by pilots of the 6./JG 3 between 0600 and 0607 hours (German time). The German info on this engagement is known to me. Thanks in advance. Best wishes Rob
