We are going anyway (the D13-th). Would be nice to see you guys too.

Yes, Mytzu... Pics would be really great! Of everything we could make use off !

Soem more places:
This are villages:
- Soroki
- Kodyma, Moldavia
- Ungeny
- Rybnitsa, Moldavia
- Kotovsk
This were airfields used by the VVS:
- Todoreny,
- Stefanesty,
- Chizovo,
- Zatishje,
- Semjonovka

Who can locate these?

Ungheni we already have (it is east of Iasi on the other side of Prut river). I think I also located Rabnita but for some reason I cannot see it in my list. As for the otehrs, if they are in Basarabia, do you have their original name (the romanian one) instead of the russified one ?

Soroki - Soroca - 48:08:53N 28:18:21E
Kodyma - now in Ukraine - 48:09:00N 29:11:43E
Ungeny - Ungheni - 47:14:25N 27:50:52E
Rybnitsa - Râbniţa/Rîbniţa - 47:45:24N 29:00:37E
Kotovsk - Hânceşti/Hînceşti - 46:46:46N 28:31:17E

Todoreny - Todoreni/Tudoreni ? - Take a look at Places in Moldova that start with To or Places in Moldova that start with Tu.
Stefanesty - Ştefăneşti - There are three such places in Bessarabia (Places in Moldova that start with Ş).
Chizovo - ?
Zatishje - ?
Semjonovka - possible in Ukraine now

01. Balti
02. ? Semjonovka (Odessa region) ?
03. Kotovsk
04. Zatishje
05. ? Chizovo ?
06. Stefanesti
07. Todireni
08. Rabnita
09. Ungheni


Kodyma and Soroca are too far north.

Mytzu, your map is for Kotovsk, Russia. The Kotovsk in Bessarabia is now named Hânceşti/Hînceşti.

And, to make matters worse, there is also a Kotovsk in nowadays Ukraine at 47:32:43N 29:38:40E.

Sorry I put wrong link - it was one lower. This is correct one.

Thanks Carol !

Sorry Mytzu, it is still Kotovsk, Russia. It appears that the address of the page does not change when you choose to view the map of another location. I suspect the same happened for your Stefanesti. Your link is for Ştefăneşti in Botoşani county.

Stefanesti in Botosani county is good
I made a screenshot with kotovsk - for some reason the link doesn't change when I change the town name:



PS: thanks again Carol !

Then I would like to point out that there are several others locations bearing the name Ştefăneşti on the left side of the Pruth as well (at least according to Places in Moldova that start with Ş).

That is Kotovsk, Ukraine. Hânceşti (formerly Kotovsk) in Bessarabia is the one marked on the map below.

Thanks, I know where Hancesti is, I have it for some time on the map - but I it is not the one we need, we need the on in Odessa county.

Ungeny must be a different Ungeny, I believe. Because in Ungeny, this happened:
Ml.Leit. Atrashkevitch Fiodor *1916 Shot down by AAA near Ungeny on 26.06.41.

Was definitely not near TirguMures, I think it is this places:
http://www.fallingrain.com/world/MD/56/Ungheni.html near Pruth river...

Todoreny, Romania was a VVS-AF in June 1944

Semjonovka, Odessa region was a VVS-AF also in 24.06.41. Mabe this:
http://www.fallingrain.com/world/MD/0/Semionovca.html
if it is on the east side of Pruth

Chizovo, Odessa region was a VVS-AF also in 1941, maybe this place:
http://www.fallingrain.com/world/UP/0/Chizhevka.html

I think we can get it together all .
