Soviet WWII Medal Order of the Patriotic War 2nd Class, LANDED BURNING BOMBER

Description: Soviet Russian USSR WWII Order of the Patriotic War 2nd Class with serial number in the 500-thousand range, researched, awarded to Captain Aleksandr Tarasenko, a bomber aircraft navigator in Long-Range Aviation (100th Long-Range Bomber Aviation Regiment)! Per the award citation: Tarasenko was awarded for carrying out 80 combat missions against enemy industry, troops, and airfields in Romania, Roland, and Hungary during 1941-1942. His bomber shot down 1x PZL 24 fighterplane (a rare kill, probably Romanian) and 1x ME-109. He suffered two wounds inflicted by enemy aircraft, both of which are supported with documentation. While severely wounded, he managed to fly his damaged and burning aircraft back to base, thus saving his crew! He was subsequently grounded due to wounds and served well as a staff officer in a fighter regiment. Excellent and scarce award! Condition is great, as seen in the images! The serial number of the award is authentic and matches the serial number shown in the archival documents, obviously! If you require confirmation in advance, please send me a message, and I will gladly provide images. Over time, I have found that redacting award serial numbers in certain listings (particularly of researched awards) has acted a simple and effective filter to sort good customers from troublesome eBay hooligans. Reasonable, rational collectors who are genuinely interested in the history represented by an award will make the effort to reach out and will quickly find that everything is in order. Winner will be provided with archival research (11 pages - including serial number documentation, documentation on the presentation of the award to the family, Citation, and a full Service Record) in electronic format, unredacted, in color, plus an archival portrait of Tarasenko, also in electronic format. Professional English translation of the Citation and presentation documents is available if requested before receipt of item. No returns. All questions in advance. I will answer all coherent, respectful inquiries to the best of my ability. INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING AVAILABLE only through eBay’s Global Shipping Program (GSP). With this program: once the item is delivered to the address to which eBay directs me to ship, all responsibility for final safe delivery of the item to the buyer becomes eBay’s. I am categorically not responsible for any problems that arise once the item is in eBay’s possession. Note: combined shipping is not available through the GSP. If you wish to combine shipping, you must contact me in advance to make arrangements. Buyers from any country in the exclusion list must always contact me in advance of purchase. I will not accept purchases from buyers with shipping addresses in these countries without advance notice. If you contact me, as I am requesting of you, you will likely find your purchase approved. Shipping will then be through the GSP. Please see my other listings. Lots of excellent Soviet medals! Many additional high quality pieces available that are not yet listed. Please inquire. Thank you!
