Hi, Francisco!
Answer from Sergey Abrosov was:
"Yes, I would like to contact with every SCW researcher. But bad thing my foreign languages are very weak. I dont know how our communication will go because of it."
Yes, there are combat reports of russian pilots over this combats. There are report of I-16 type5 pilot who shot down Heinrici, Lt. Sergey A. Chernykh.
Pilot, who rammed He-51 of Eberhardt was Kap. Sergey F. Tarkhov, leader of "I-16 squadron". Tarkhov could bail from his aircraft, but was shot in air by REPUBLICAN ground troops (who thought he is a nacionalists pilot), got 6 bullet wounds. After he landed, he was still alive. He was severely beaten by republican, didnt care he is in republican uniform. After this, he was moved to Military Ministerium Building, and there soviet reporter recognised him as Soviet pilot. He was moved to hospital, but it was too late.
Kapitan S.F. Tarkhov died of wounds 23.11.36.
