The name of the 16th Fighter Air Regiment in battle of Kuban is incorrect - the name "Sandomirsky" was received long after Kuban campaign in 01st of September 1944 (after liberation of Sandomierz in 18th of August 1944 - my beautiful hometown). Also the regiment have been awarded with Alexander Nevsky Order in 26th of April 1945.
