Homologated victories AAR ace Capt Cantacuzino 1944

[researcher111]

On latest edition of "Avions" France / Spring 2016 the author
Mr Denes Bernard homologated Capt. Cantacuzino victories to
45 confirmed (1 shared) two more than sofar known .

The homologated victories are 23/7/44 a Yak-9 and 21/8/44 a Yak-3 instead of two .
On my records the Yak-3 were claimed by other pilots respect. Luftwaffe rather AAR
while the YAK-9 by Romanian AA near Sarata , pilot KIA .

Questions :

1. According VVS records on 23.7.44 (location unknown) a
Yak is accounted as lost by 3rd Ukr Front SSW of Odessa
(claims can not be verified )

2.According my data on 21.8.44 3 x YAK's were lost , two claimed by JG77
the other by JG53 near Constanza . In my view with just 2 days before
Romanian capitulation and just few days prior his flight to Bari / Italy with
Col.Gunn while actively meeting Gunn and other US POW's in Bucharest
is very unlikely that he was at all active on flight duties.

Mr Denes citting as source,the combat diary of AAR 9th FG though
history showing that lots of such Axis and Allied diaries had lots
of errors. While and by no means I'm putting Mr Denes research in question,
is anyone knowledgeable with the location of the above scores ?

during Aug 21,44 with both US and British Intel reps in
Bucharest as into early evac preparations of Ops Reunion
