Re: 16 GIAP 31.05.1944 Jassy

Please keep in mind that 16 GIAP weren't the only unit to lose Airacobras that day. I have been able to turn up the following:

129 GIAP Leytenant Nikolay Fedorovich Burgunov POW and returned postwar

508 IAP lost Viktor Aleksandrovich Sandalinov and Ml.Lt. Vasily Demianovich Shkondin KIA

It goes at least some way toward explaining some of the numerous claims put in for P-39s that date...
