Boris Safonov real claims and german losses

[Mirek Wawrzynski]

And last meeting with Safonov - second left!

Not true,

Safonov is fifth from the left or first from the right.
This is photo with pilots of 134 Squadron, among RAF's pilots are seen F/Lt Berg, F/Lt Ross, place is Vayenga-1 airport about 10.1941.

BTW
Vikipedia sometime is not good source of information.
"The Soviet aces. The victories of Stalin's Falcons" by Mikhail Bykov - I do not hear that he has already prined the III edition of his very good book, which is planed to edit on 2013 (?). The second was from 2007 (?), I suppose.
Good book but some errors you may find too. Nobody is perfect, me too.

Anyway Y. Rybin is better if concerning Russian aces on the Far North, then M. Bykov, which is also good but not on such deep level and such good as he is.
