Both sides were overclaiming victories WvR is seen middle on the shot taken at Iasi ,Romania sometime March / April 44. Sereda was an expert of his regiment and one of the best recon pilots of the 3rd Air Corps each time when the boss of 3rd Air Corps Gen.Podgorney had to fly , Sereda was selected as wigman . From what he describes on his memoirs abve Moldova's skies ,both FW-190 downed on 5/6/ 44 were no match to him which is a clear indication that the Germans were newbys or simply lacking combat experience. While born in Moscow , in 1970 Sereda chose to move closer to his glorious past and live in Chisinau / Moldova where he died in 1988 and where was also buried.
On the eve of his life ,he traveled the country as a lecturer actively worked as freelancer with "Chişinău's Evenings", "Soviet Moldavia" newspapers , he often met with his older Romania / Moldavia skies comrades aces and their wives such as Kozhedub, Evstigneev ,Bryzgalyov, Retschkalov etc.
