Any picture left?
Unluckily most got lost when back in 2003 my granny's archive got flooded. When noone at home, water heating pipe ruptured and flooded the appartment, hot water coming from the pipe under pressure filled the drawer where she stored all documents and photos.... It took an hour until the emergency services reacted, after being alarmed by neighbours below, and 2-3 more hours while those searched for my granny (she was shopping, no cellphones back then). By then, it was a sticky mess of paper cooked in 60 deg C water, not a single document or photo survived, except one which was not standing in file, but was just laid on top and situated above water level... Just 2 weeks later I was going to visit my granny with a laptop and scanner, already had my tickets for the plane booked....
He had lots of awards, but the only one which was found in podvignaroda database is the one relevant to the short spell which he spent outside of the air regiment. While recovering from injury he served as a political officer in a naval airfield construction unit, and got a red star order for great performance there. There are many more in the archive, but no documents yet.Only 10-15% of the soviet documents are however available, maybe more would surface later..
