good images indeed, thank you for posting them. What is their source? Could you translate the slogans, please? Regards Massimo Title: Re: Yaks from 270 iap Post by: KL on July 16, 2015, 03:20:36 AM (http://img.wp.scn.ru/camms/ar/349/pics/1_83.jpg)
"Мщу за Ваню Корниенко" = Avenging Vania Kornienko from Authentic decal review at http://scalemodels.ru/articles/4819-obzor-dekali-Authentic-Decals-1-72-jak-1-jak-1b.html Decal authors claim that this was Як-1б гв.ст.л-та Г.А. Мерквиладзе, 152 ГИАП 12 ГИАД, предп. Германия, 1945 год. Yak-1b of the guards senior lieutenant G.A. Merkviladze, 152 giap, 12 giad, prob. Germany, 1945. HTH, KL Title: Re: Yaks from 270 iap Post by: Massimo Tessitori on July 16, 2015, 07:47:06 AM Thank you. Could '25' have written 'Za Rodinu' and 43/47 'Za Stalina'?
Regards Massimo Title: Re: Yaks from 270 iap Post by: KL on July 16, 2015, 08:55:30 AM Could '25' have written 'Za Rodinu' and 43/47 'Za Stalina'? Not likely... "For Motherland" was typical in 1941, not in 1945. More typical for 1944/45 were "To Berlin" or "Avenger" (or similar). Motherland was already liberated. Regards, KL Title: Re: Yaks from 270 iap Post by: FPSOlkor on July 18, 2015, 06:53:08 PM Photos came from widow of Ivan Korneenko. Photo of Merkviladze's Yak was made between early april (when korneenko disappeared - POW) till late may (when information about his releaze came to the regiment) in Germany.
43\7 is signed @For something@ 25 can be sure only that last letter is T Inscription is unlikely "for something" more likely "to somewhere" Title: Re: Yaks from 270 iap Post by: Massimo Tessitori on July 19, 2015, 11:42:28 AM The inscription on 25 looks to be curved, seems starting from close to the right hand of the man and end with ...bukm! (utilizing the most similar-looking characters of the western alphabet). Does this suggest anything?
