Gentlemen,
I have attempted to translate this citation for some items i have, but as expected i'm strugling!
What does "Аэ" stand for in the first line?
Also, what does "GIASKP" mean?
Is this roughly what the citation says?
"Guards junior sergeant Vertebny, Yuri Pavlovich serves as motor mechanic of aviation for the third (Aviation Division?) , He has participated in the Patriotic War since August 1942, in the southern part of Stalingrad, 4th, 1st and 3rd Ukrainian Fronts. He took part in the heroic defense of Stalingrad.
Comrade Vertebny during his time in 117 (giaskp?) from April 1944 together with the mechanic served 130 aircraft sorties, of which 20 flights were handled on his own in the absence of a mechanic. Along with excellent work on the material, Comrade Vertebny also partakes in guard duty for the vigilant protection of the material in the territory of foreign countries and had the 4th of gratitude???? from the Command of the squadron and regiment.
