Hello,
If anyone knows the details of the loss of Kapitan Pavel Konstantinovich Babylov of 163 IAP on 14 October 1944, I will be interested to learn them. Thanks in advance

Re: Kapitan Babaylov
AFAIK the unit of Kapitan Babaylov was 163 GVIAP...
He was killed in combat on 14/10/1944, apparently his aircraft was damaged and he was wounded in air combat over Poland, and, while attempting to make it back to his base, he fell in an AAA-heavy zone when crossing the frontline, and was shot down in flames. His airplane apparently crashed in Taranovo-Toski near Zambruv (?, sorry, I just transliterrated the russian name, it's probably called otherwise in Polish...). Hope this can help you...

Re: Kapitan Babaylov
According to my records on 14 October 1944 he was attacking an enemy airbase on the 2nd Belorussian Front when his plane was hit antiaircraft artillery fire and caught fire. He attempted to fly back to his base but he was hit by AA fire while crossing Soviet lines, lost control and crashed and died. Gunner 1
