I think he was the best squadron commander in the regiment. A very honest, brave and intelligent officer. He considered fighting a normal job and always took it very seriously. He carefully approached the readiness of his pilots and prepared well himself. I remembered that he never left the battle prematurely, twice in a critical situation he came to my aid, driving away the attacking enemy.

I remember one major battle in 1951, the enemy raised in the air 40 bombers who cover 60 fighters. Their goal was to bomb a strategic bridge over the river Yalutsayan.
