I think the date of the first pilot's death is also listed erroneously, as according to my info
Por. Luka I. Obreykov of 672
Yato died on 09-aug-43, when crashed near Lyabzhena.
P.S. I think it's very commendable that a German pilot who died in defence of Bugaria is also listed on the monument (
Hptm. Gerhard Wengel,
Gruppenkommandeur of I./JG 5, KIA on 10 Jan. 1944).
