Kristof Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 Dear Friends.I requested research for my Order of Red banner S/N 266464. I was so happy when I received research ,to find out the order is belongs to pilot. After checking award card I find the award card has different serial number for order of Red Banner. On top of digit 2 someone put digit 4.I requested my researcher to do the research again . At the moment I'm waiting and hopping this research is for my Order of Red Banner.

While in support role he could be depended on to provide cover for his lead aircraft, and as a result,his lead aircraft carried out five aerial attacks and brought down two enemy aircrafts, without a single loss to the bombers he was escorting nor to his own aircraft.16.2.45 While in accompanying PE-2 over target he noticed ME-109, Comrade Skurikhin radioed and warned the lead aircraft, as a result of the battle and reliable cover brought down one ME-109, and after checking the status of his lead aircraft, left the battlefield.He is well versed in the ?Airacobra? aircraft and is competent in utilizing its performance. He is also a technical pilot through good training , which is why he fulfills his combat assignments even in adverse conditions , and, has not had a single accident.Respectful to his senior officers. Strong political and moral convictions. For completing 36 successful combat missions providing dependable cover for his lead aircraft,which allowed his lead aircraft to bring down two enemy aircrafts- deserving of state awardorder ? Patriotic War 1st class?.
