General Report ..................................................................................................................................................................... (6.)
CAP near taman peninsula. flight of 7. Extremely bad weather, clouds at 1000m with 7 m/s wind with heavy fog and snow. Worst visibility I've seen.
Stab flight and 6th staffel patrolled south along the straight until we were intercepted by a flight of yaks with xray vision that could see through thick clouds. even staying in groups, it was an absolute disaster. 2 109's were knocked out by friendly fire, including myself and was minorly wounded. Not sure if we got any of them. Probably 5 yaks, didnt have time to get a count.
Had to bail over the large lake on the south of our lines. parachuted right into a friendly AAA nest. Picked up by friendly patrol and brought back to bagerovo to find a replacement plane.
