П - killed
ПАК - ? (context is needed)
ПБЗ -killed in combat mission
ПВБ - killed in airial combat
ПНС - ? (context is needed)
Ранен -> Shot ? - wounded
СЗА - shot down by flak
Таран -> Taran. OK I understand this one
УВБ - killed in airial combat
УЗА - killed by Flak
Умер -> Died
УОР - died of wounds
УПБ - ? (context needed)

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

сбит ИА и ЗА пр-ка
сбит ИА противника
пропал без вести
потерпел катастрофу
сбит ЗА пр-ка
сбит ИА пр-ка

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

Thanks in advance

Laurent
