Burke
Thanks for your help, very nice of you to include all this, however as I imagined it doesn't list the Soviet pilots or officers , which brings me to the conclussion that foreign awards such as DSC,DFC,OBE,DSM,LGM awards and orders were given on individual non official basis less citations to avoid issue with Stalinist system whenever such pilots were in touch with British and US Allied control authorities or Allied pilots. |
