Hi

for example;

On February 9, 1943, the troops of the Red Army fought for the possession of Timoshevskaya and other points in the Kuban.
Having received the task to attack the Slavyanskaya airfield, the 66th IAP aircraft covered the IL-2. In the ensuing air battle, navigator of the 66th IAP Major Sayfutdinov was shot down. On a downed plane, he made an emergency tree landing in the Red Forest in the territory occupied by the enemy. For three days he hid near the plane and on the fourth day Saifutdinov was found and hid by the forester Novikov. Together with Sayfutdinov, Novikov disguised and kept the Yak-1 plane until the arrival of the Red Army units, after which he handed over the plane to the technical team against receipt.
Hartmann was among the riflemen, so aerial victory, or at least for a few weeks. Or was it not an aerial victory.

During the summer of 1943, 13 OTTR evacuated 42 aircraft from the sites of forced landings. The department cut 26 aircraft into parts. During the offensive period of the 2nd Belorussian Front, Senior Sergeant Zizevsky took part in the evacuation of 27 aircraft from the places of forced landings, in addition, 2 aircraft were evacuated from under enemy fire.
