Alex Smart ,

To go by the Luftwaffe , Soviet Fronts losses , AA units and Romanian AAR
claims during 1st and 2nd Iasi- Chisnau offensives as well OBD records
just in order to locate the remains of one Soviet P-39 discovered near
Iasi is like looking for a needle in hay stack !

During the two offensives numerous P-39's were lost around various
perimeters of Iasi claimed by Luftwaffe, Romanian ,German AA
and AAR pilots , in addition some of those claims can't
even be verified through 1st ,2nd and 3rd Ukrainian Fronts records ,
OBD listings or you name it and are not sufficient to locate one P-39
near Iasi . Eventhough a date would be available that won't make
the job easier at all because on specific dates numerous P-39's were lost
near Iasi.

For example on my records on one specific date 11 P-39's
were lost near Iasi .

If the exact crash site location and the date would be available that
could make the stuff easier but again also under such circumstances
success is not taken for granted
