Robert,
The source that I read has him leading a group of Il-2 of the 61 ShAP at the battle of Kursk in Jul43. So this is the same person?

Robert,
I got some information from Evgeny. He confirmed it was the same pilot. The correct name is Aleksandr Antonovich Dobkevich and he was St. Lt. during Kursk with 61 ShAP.
