Hello,

The included picture is a well known one and has been shown in this forum before. Now it seems that the pilot is identified as Valentin Dodonov, who flew I-16s as a volunteer over China between 22/01/38 and 03/08/38.
Is there anyone that can verify the identity and on which date he was shot down?

Best wishes/Håkan
