Soviet claims on 22 June 1939 (Khalkhin Gol)
Hello everybody,
I've started to look into the Khalkin Gol/Nomonhan Incident in 1939 and now I'm trying to figure out the Soviet claims on 22 June. 49 I-152 and 56 I-16s from 22 and 70 IAPs clashed with 1st and 2nd chutai of 24th Sentai. The Japanese claimed 43 aircraft (in two combats) for the loss of 4 while the Soviets claimed 30 enemy aircraft for the loss of 13 aircraft (11 pilots). Now I'm trying to identify the Soviet pilots and so far I have: Known claiming pilots from the 22 IAP were: Mayor Nikolay Georgiyvich Glazykin (CO) two enemy aircraft Grigoriy Kravchenko one enemy aircraft Starshiy Leytenant Viktor Rakhov (I-16) one enemy aircraft Anton Yakimenko (I-16) two enemy aircraft Arseniy Vorozheikin (I-16) one enemy aircraft R. Raykov one enemy aircraft. Known claiming pilots from the 70 IAP were: Mayor Sergey Gritsevets (I-16) one Ki-27 Unknown units: Nikolay Semenovich Gerasimov one enemy aircraft Viktorov one enemy aircraft. Mayor Ivan Lakeev, a unit commander in the 1st Army Group, also claimed an enemy aircraft. Is there anyone with corrections/additions? Bar with me on the spelling on the names (I'm struggling with Goggle's Translation tool) and corrections are most welcome! Any additional info on this interesting 'Incident' is most welcome since it's very difficult for someone how doesn't speak Japanese or Russian to find hard facts on this subject! Best wishes/Håkan
