Hi Paul,
Thanks for the response. I should emphasise that I'm only in the early stages of matching up the records of the two sides, and my German information is much more complete than my Soviet information.
That said, my loss figures come from the operational reports of 3.VA, plus the VVS KBF figures that Andrey Kuznetsov provided earlier in this thread, so there can be no doubt about them.
3.VA alone undertook 614 sorties on 28 October, so I'm not sure which units are referred to in the Osprey book.
Cheers,
Andrew A.
