Leytenant V. Tsebenko

In June 1941 Tsebenko served in 129 IAP. This unit was at the time based on the western frontier, near the Baltic coast and equipped with Polikarpov I-153s.

In the morning on 22 June, he shot down Gefreiter K. Paschkowski of II/JG 27 (Bf 109E-4 WNr. 3352) over Lomzi.
It seems that 129 IAP claimed six victories during the day.

Tsebenko ended the war with 1 biplane victory.
