3 DB-3T of 1. MTAP (pilots kpt. Jesin commander plus crews of lejt. Jurin (Yurin), Rusakow and escort of 6 I-153s commanded by mjr Kudrjawcew. This was one of plane of special avaition group (crews of 1. MTAP plus 57. BAP), which had made 9 attacks agianst Berlin since 7.08.41
One DB-3T (nr 391127) of kpt. Jesin shot down, all 3 members KIA, plus to killed Jesin (or Yesin) were navigator Chachibulin, and radio-operator Njankin.
A little strange, I have info about attack done against German transport plus two escort ships after 16.00? (Soviet this hour should took off form Kagul, but German data could be more credible.
