I am Alexander Yevgeniyevich Golovanov (1904-1975). At the end of the war, my rank and position were : Chief Marshal of the Air Force. Here is Golovanov bio in Wikipedia : "Alexander Yevgeniyevich Golovanov (1904-1975) was a Soviet pilot. In 1943 he became Marshal of the Air Force (Chief Marshal) (the second after Alexander Novikov) and on 19 August 1944 he was promoted to Chief Marshal of the Air Force. From the start of the Great Patriotic War (1941-1945), he was the commander of an air regiment, then commander of a long-range bombers' division, subordinated to the Supreme Command Headquarters. The division led by him bombed, with his personal participation, enemy military facilities in Berlin, K?nigsberg, Gdańsk, Ploieşti and other cities. From February 1942 he was the commander of the long-range air force transformed into the 18th Air Army in December, 1944. The army's units delivered air strikes against the Axis' deep rear, supported ground forces during the East Prussian, Vienna and Berlin operations and fulfilled tasks to help the Partisans of Yugoslavia." Golovanov remained Chief marshal of the Air Force from 19 August 1944 to 11 March 1955. Ch.

Hey, seems good, Auke!!! Let's wait for Nick's judgement... Cheers. Ch.

Good, Christian, but I don't think you answered the question... Cheers. Ch.

Nick, Green light. Let's go!!!! Cheers. Ch.

Hi Christian, Many thanks for for your support... the support of one of the most eminent members of the Quiz... Cheers. Ch.

In fact, Nick, it would be YOUR turn, not mine... Cheers. Ch.

Hi Ed and Nick, Thanks for your interest in the Quiz!!! Of course, I don't like this solution either... But, what to do ? The Quiz, normally should regulate by itself... I think we are enough members to make it perform, but in some other forums (Fora ? ), I have seen similar quiz disappear... I would prefer the Quiz continue as it was in 2006-07... Let's other Members express their opinion... And during the week-end, if nothing new, I'll post another question, to see whats' going on... Cheers. Ch;
