I noted your contribution to 376th BG. Pse note that
Sierk was on "D" Flight to Constanza when the aircraft was
hit and diverted to Sevastopol Mayak Airfield . The
crew photo with Avdeev Naval Air Fleet ace was
taken few days later . The Soviets did not retain the
bomber , the bomber did not carry any PR crew to
Russia and all were fortunate to get out of troubles by
June 23. What is not clear is when and where
this Lib was hit and by whom.

Later on Avdeev was reprimanded for over friendly
gesture for handing over to Sierk a VMF crest which
Sierk pinned on his uniform, though given his record
Avdeev remained unscaved ( check attachment )

I have some 10 photos from the Naval Archives in Sevastopol
but I retain them for a planned book which due various reasons
is on delay status .

As into your A-20 book let me know where I can buy it
