And I have also some difficulties with the following expressions about aircraft fate:

сбит ИА и ЗА пр-ка - shot down by enemy fighters and AA artillery
сбит ИА противника - shot down by enemy fighters
пропал без вести - MIA
потерпел катастрофу - suffered flying accident
сбит ЗА пр-ка - shot down by enemy AA artillery
сбит ИА пр-ка - shot down by enemy fighters

I hope one of the Russian members of this forum may help me.

Thanks in advance

Laurent
