Since prosecutors were then not allowed to work in one place for more than five years, the family lived in Simbirsk (now Ulyanovsk), Ardatov, Novodevichy, and Stavropol-on-Volga (now Tolyatti).

[1] In October 1944 Second Lieutenant Nosov reported to 51st Mine-Torpedo Regiment of the Baltic Fleet air force, equipped with American-made A-20 Boston twin-engined light bombers.

He and his crew flew six sorties, their role being to fly in advance of the torpedo bombers and lay down suppressive fire on the enemy's anti-aircraft weapons, a dangerous task.

[1] On Nosov's sixth combat mission, on February 13, 1945, his A-20 was in the southern part of the Baltic Sea (at about 55°23′00″N 19°00′00″E / 55.38333°N 19.00000°E / 55.38333; 19.00000) attacking a transport of 6000 tons displacement when it was hit by anti-aircraft fire and burst into flames.

[1][4] It is manifest to all: an unquenchable force of hatred for the enemy and ardent love for the homeland motivated each crew member.

There is a memorial with a bust of Nosov (by A. I Frolov) in front of Secondary School #4 on Gorky street in the Central District.
