Oblt. Romain claims for 4 may 1944

[Evgeny Velichko]

Hi all!

On 4 may 1944, Oblt. Romain claimed 2 Boston III. The locations listed as 34 Ost N/U-1.5 and 34 Ost N/AU-6. But it is mistake, he could not fly to this area from Romania. LUMA shows those locations here

But they must be in western part of Black sea.

Two Bostons of 30 rap:
Boston III, Ml.L-t Babkov (P), Ml.L-t Bykov(Nav), Semirechensky (Radiooperator-Gunner) and Bizar (Gunner) took off at 11:55, to ship recoinaccanse mission to area of West of Black sea, didnt return from Combat mission;
Boston III, L-t Grigirov(P), L-t Kruglykh(Nav), Ml.S-t Bashtan (Radiooperator-Gunner), Kirlyakov (Gunner) took off at 12:00, to ship recoinaccanse mission to area of West of Black sea, didnt return from Combat mission;

The only german fighter who claimed Bostons on that day was Oblt. Romain of 5./ZG1, so his two claims fit 100% with VVS losses.

BUT: is it known the TRUE grid of claims? May be supplimental reports, or so?
