Wow, the word "big" was an understatement! Excellent info, Nick -- much appreciated.
One comment:
Earlier versions of your Barkhorn list had this entry for his 16th claim:
"27.5.42/1528, Pe-2, NE of Petrovskaya @ 100m. 223 BAD, 2 VA. Losses believed to be in excess of 16 crews. Includes Divison CO Podpolkovnik I K Kosenko and Polkovnik Yuri N Gorbko HSU plus Lt. Ivan Sirko all KIA. 24 BBAP (Gorbko's unit) alone lost 6 Pe-2s"
Since it's now absent, I take it that you've since concluded that Barkhorn wasn't involved in this action?
Thanks again for your valued efforts,
