Name of 41 GIAP pilot

[Nokose]

I'm looking for the full name of Hero of the Soviet Union (01Jul44) pilot P.M. Nikanorov who claimed a Bf 109 on the 07Aug43 with the 41 GIAP.

Hi after long time!

Is this maybe a confusion with

Петр Михайлович Никоноров
(Petr Michailowich Nikonorov)

from 88.GIAP ?

He claimed a 109 on that day near Grayvoron and was awarded HSU on 1.7.44...

Thanks Joerg,
St. Lt. Petr Mikhaylovich Nikonorov is probably the one I'm looking for as the 88 GIAP and the 41 GIAP were both in the 8 GIAD. Possibly a publisher typo on the name. The other pilot mentioned was listed as a 41 GIAP pilot all in the same sentence. Did JG52 lose any Bf 109's in that area that day as 8 GIAD claimed two.

Assuming this is a question:
- 1./NAGr.2 (base: Charkov) lost one Bf109 and had one damaged 30% due to Luftkampf (WkNr 19772 & 19777)
- II. & III. JG52 lost one each
More I cannot tell after just quick looking.
