Definitely, me too I would like entangle the puzzle but 4 this I need few fixes...
such as date or year or location or the unit claiming the victory such as Flack or
Air 2 Air . One thing doesn't look right as into 8th GVF Kiev..the camo paint does
not match the crash photo...secondly this type of paint was introduced by early 1943
...or maybe was the paint of an other transport group near Belarus or Moscow I may
not be familiar with , coze my area of reserch is Ukraine,Crimea, Romania, Bessarabia
and Moldavia .

The PS-84(DC-3) was manufactured in license by the Soviets already by mid 30's
and was not a typical lend/lease item. This model was seen with red star already
during the Spanish conflict ( check left hand photo).In 1941 the 8th GVF PS-84's
had similar camo paint like this seen in Spain.

I am attaching the early PS and '43 version ....
