Messerschmitt Bf 109 F-4 13.(Slow)/JG 52 (Black 4+) Jozef Jančovič Russia 28th Jan 1943

Messerschmitt Bf 109 F-4 2./JG3 (Black 4+) Jozef Jancovic (was a Slovakian pilot) shows the damaged his aircraft received after comabat with a Soviet Rata Russia 28th Jan 1943. Messerschmitt Bf 109F of 13.(Slow)/JG 52 Already battle-veary by their previous Luftwaffe service, Bf 109Es with which Slovak pilots flew to the Eastern front in 1942 were objectively obsolete at that time and quickly loosing their combat effectivnes. Situation was solved with Germans loaning Bf 109F-4s and later Bf 109Gs to Slovak squadron. While there is many photos of Slovak Gustavs, this is not the case with Bf 109Fs in service with Letka 13, although this unit operated no less then 16 planes of this type which W.Nr. are known. This rare photo (indeed only known existing photo of Slovak Friedrich), taken at Krasnodar on 28 January 1943, shows čatnik Jozef Jančovič pointing out the severe combat damage inflicted on his Bf 109F. He had just returned from mission with a piece of I-16 wing embeded in his aircraft as a result of a head-on encounter which ended with the Soviet pilot trying to ram Slovak fighter. Tactic of raming enemy planes, sometimes used by Soviet pilots, was called "Taran". Judging by the amblem beneath the cockpit this Messerschmitt Bf 109F was once on stregth of 8./JG 3.
