After further clarifications the Royal Romanian Air Force didn't report any
losses on that day,neither any of my Russian collegues researching the
subject could locate the claimed IL-2's and the P-39's. The Russian claims
were absolutely fictious ,interesting to note that the most of the Russian
claims were by at least 8 HSU recepients and with great probability keen
for further promotions and more fame part of a structured communist system
dictating politics and selective promotion rather airmanship & quality.

Generally speaking despite such ridiculos figures , this won't question
fine pilots such as Retchkalov, Evstigneev ,Guleaev, Klubov, Koshedub ,
Egorov, Arhipenko ,Pokrishkin etc who were acting on my research area.

Maybe you have the possibility to check the losses of 2./NAGr.14 which at
time was located at Comrat not that far from Griogoriopol and those of
KG 55 located at Focsani airfield. One Russian pilot claimed a Taran on one
of those out of 4 HE-111 claimed , but was killed during an attempted landing.

Thanks in advance
