found this IAW12958

edit:
The correct spelling is Tuzov (Tusow is the German form)+ Tuzov airfield is northwest of Kalatch

JG 3, 52 and 53 all operated from Tusow in August-September 1942. All 3 have published unit histories in which there may be a map or two along with narrative descriptions of exactly where the Feldflugplatz was in respect to the village.

In this map - schematical position, not exact. If to translate PQ 44 Ost 39/3/8/1 - in coordinates, it turns out:
48°35 ' 0.00" N 43°11 ' 0.00" E but this place - ravines and hills.(see screen Google Earth ) .

Regarding LUMA is it 48.541668 E, 43.25 E (roundabout 8 km southeast from your position). Prien wrote that Tusow was an field with deep clefts of erosion around, the socalled "Balkas". There weren't buildings or hangars and the pilots/black men lived in tents.

Thanks Rasmussen. Your coordinates and descriptive information is very helpful to me, too.
