Re: Libau 28 October 1944

Judging by Tony Wood's listings on November 6, 1943 the following jagdgruppe claimed this number of Soviet fighters in the vicinity of Kiev:
II/JG54 - Yaks - 22 (including 13 by Rudorrfer and 5 by Tangerman)
La-5 - 3
IV/JG54 - La-5 - 5
I/JG51 - Yak-9 - 3
La-5 - 3

Actuall losses for 256 IAD and 8 GIAD (which participated in the combats around Kiev on that day were: 3 Yak-7 and 3 La-5 shot down in combats, 2 Yak-7 and 2 La-5 failed to return from missions and 3 La-5 damaged due to enemy fighters, conducted belly landings on friendly territoty.

Please note that definition "failed to return" does not necesserily mean that they were shot down by fighters...
