When M.D. Baranov was shot down ?

[Monaco]

Hello Nikita,
thanks for this info, which is new to me!
There is a brief description there that ufter first victories (October-November 1941) Baranov's plane was set afire by AA and he managed to nursue its burning machine to cross the frontline, where he bailed out.
To Paul thank you likewise, I agree on your opinion about Zampini´s articles. Anyway it´s fascinating puzzling things together after all those years, but not easy if you do not have all sources from all sides (especially the timetables) - many air combats on the Eastern Front will probably never be researched with 100% accuracy and one should refer to expressions like...were involved, there is a probability that...was shot down and so on. However as our russian members show VVS did record their losses in great detail - so hopefully we will learn more about it. On the other hand german records have proven not so trustful as they seem to be especially when one refers to the cause of the losses.
