Re: Mayor Sergey Ivanovich Gritsevets in China?
Good afternoon Gentlemen,
I made some progress with my endeavour to define the claim list of Sergey Gritsevets: He is offially credited with 10+30sh kills. The dates of 10+20sh kills are known. Mikhail Maslov suggests that his shared kills probably reflect the kills claimed by the unit he commanded. He commanded 5 Escuadrilla de Caza and was in Spain from 10Jun until 26Oct1938. In this period an additional 9 kills are credited to his squadron, which cannot be found in his usual victory lists. Furthermore, another kill on 5Oct is indicated by Tomas Polak. This neatly adds up to 10+30sh kills. The decimals of 5 shared kills are known. An Escuadrilla has 12 pilots therefore, I think that the Escuadrilla kills can be counted as 1/12. Now I need to find the decimals of the remaining shared kills:
20.07.1938 sh Bf109
22.07.1938 sh CR32
24.07.1938 sh Ju52
05.08.1938 sh CR32
18.08.1938 sh CR32
18.08.1938 sh CR32
23.08.1938 sh Bf109
24.08.1938 sh CR32
26.08.1938 sh He51
03.10.1938 sh CR32
04.10.1938 sh Bf109
05.10.1938 sh Bf109
07.08.1939 sh Ki-27
07.08.1939 sh Ki-27
21.08.1939 sh Ki-27
I'll keep at it !
Michael
