I don't see anything contradictory, but have had a similar experience perusing the archive, i.e. individually listed awards not summarized. генерал-майор авиации|подполковник = Major General Aviation/Lieutenant-Colonel, possibly meaning promotion. It might be helpful to obtain his Service Record/Personnel File which would, I think, complete the picture.

The system will not let me thank you (it says I must spread it around), so I will do so in this format, thank you!
It appears he went from Cadet to spotter to Commissar, I'm just getting started.
I was wrong earlier in that it does in fact look like he was an active pilot with the citation reading he had 5 successful combat sorties over Sevastopol and was commended for guarding a transport from 3 He-111.
Thank you for all the assistance.

On further examination, the two OGPW I citations appear to be for the SAME event. One is the typed page and the other almost appears to be a carbon of it (typing is exactly the same but the background is different).

"Генерал-майор/подполковник" looks a bit strange, I suppose it means he became General-major later, after the war.
Seems I found smth about him: Читать "Адмиралы и генералы Военно-морского флота СССР: 1946-1960" - Лурье В. М. - Страница 25 - ЛитМир
His short bio is in the upper part of the page.

I too have had a similar experience (carbon copies) with archival entries and prefer the more legible.
