According to my records, Villing had previously accounted for a BRM-2 flying boat on 2 JULY

Mombeek say Carganico's claim at 11.7.41 was I-16.
Correct last name of downed soviet pilot is Talalikhin. Also second GST was attacked by fighter and damaged slightly. Soviet sources say there was 3 Me-109.
Correct name for fl.boat downed 2.7.41 is MBR-2, not BRM-2
