IL-10 losses

[researcher111]

Thanks for the feedback Gabor, if the year is 1943 then the shot is elsewhere but Hungaria,
by chance can you read his rank ?

Thanks Robert, great info. Do you know the pilot names (eg. Gorodetski on April 30, 1945) to the proper plane serials, and if 1890492 was in fact 1890402, so just a typo? (Batch No.92 seems to be too high number, but IL-10 batch No.02 still would be OK...)

Thanks,

Gabor

I have few publications in Russian language
about IL-2 in WWII, I am almost sure no S/N's mentioned
which may enable to locate wrecks, though let me know
in any case what exactly you looking for .

Романов Виталий Иванович 95 GvScHAP ( do you any other info
on the acft other than OBD ) such as S/N or any details other than
OBD ?

was shot down 22.5.44 near Sarata

[HGabor]

Unfortunately not, for that unit and time period I have no AC records, only for the 5 and 17 VA losses between October, 1944 and May, 1945.

That Hungarian pilot at the Il-2's tail is the youngest pilot of the Fw 189 equipped Hungarian 3/1. short range resonnaissance squadron. His rank is szakaszvezető (Unteroffizier). The aircraft was brought down by a German fighter, close to their base, Kharkov-Grobly (that 'somewhere' where this story appeared is my aces book, where I posted a different photo of the wreck with a different pilot). The photo was taken on the 5th of July, 1943 after the huge air battle over the city.
