Hello Monaco,

Thank you, the facts of Baranov's injuries appear to be reasonably consistent now. A word of caution, Zampini's research is highly suspect, especially when describing the actions of non-Soviet forces. For example, he has claimed that particular American aircraft were shot down in Operation Desert Storm, when in fact they crashed in the continental United States.

Regards,

Paul
