During this period, he made the following repair of aviation devices: 20 three-dial indicators, five water aero-thermometers, nine air mono-meters - all repairs of which were conducted quickly without damage under combat conditions.

Working as an aerial device mechanic he has worked well. He knows the Yak-1 and Yak-9 aviation device materiel ward excellent and employs it very capably. During his combat work, there has not been a single occasion of an inability of aircraft to take off due to aviation device malfunction, as well as no malfunction of oxygen devices in the air.

The aviation device supply section is always kept up to order and ready for combat sorties. Testing and analysis of devices in aircraft is conduct in a timely manner with discovered defects being resolved quickly.

On 12.5.44 he saved an aircraft when a fuel monitoring pipe burst and fuel began spurting out. In ten minutes Comrade Gavrish fixed the defect and the aircraft continued its combat mission in a timely manner.

For excellent training of the supply section for combat sorties he has received fifteen commendations from the regimental commander and twice received monetary awards from the squadron.

Conclusion: For excellent support of 1770 combat sorties with fail-proof work with aviation devices and for well-made repair he is deserving of a second State award, the Order of the Red Star.
