Re: A-20 17 VA

Minor detail, but tail No.s are reversed in the May 1 and June 1, 1945 lists for the following two 511 ORAP Pe-2s:

May 1, 1945:

Pe-2, S/N: 9/155, No.31
Pe-2, S/N: 13/224, No.32

June 1, 1945:

Pe-2, S/N: 9/155, No.32
Pe-2, S/N: 13/224, No.31

I don't know which ones are correct, (or if the markings really changed, which I doubt.) Unfortunately I have no info on tail No.s for the late war combat losses, only for the "surviving" planes.

By the way, the Pe-2 serial numbers were painted on the tail surfaces with a horizontal line. See pic of 511 ORAP Pe-2, S/N: 5/308, which was listed in all of my Pe-2 service lists and most likely survived the war:

October 1, 1944
January 1, 1945
April 1, 1945
May 1, 1945.

On May 1, 1945 her tactical tail No. was '29', engine serials: 41-4916 and 41-4859.

Cheers,
Gabor
Hi Gabor, is there any chance of some crew details (names and fates) for the guys that were flying 15/248?

Re: A-20 17 VA

Sorry, I have no crew details for 15/248, only for 11/196 on January 6, 1945:

ст.л-т Еремин Виталий Михайлович (MIA)
ст.л-т Гончарук Василий Федосеевич (MIA)
с-а Мухтарулин (MIA)

I assume there was no casualty on 15/248, or at least personnel records do not mention them. Soviet records -unlike the American MACRs- do not always report everything in one folder, because eg. the mechanical/maintenance reports do not mention the crews, while combat reports do not always report serials, etc. To get a full view of the event, we must get all possible records together which definitely makes it more difficult.
