Usually it's JG 54 involved in the region of Leningrad but in this case they had no involvement. On the 11 Sep 1941 09:01 -10:08 (Moscow) 6 MiG-3 from 283 IAP escorted 9 SB on a bombing raid in the regions of Mga, Sologubovka and Sigalevo (The SBAP unit I have no information on). On their return in the regions of Shapki, Maluka station and Lyudovo they ran into 7 Bf 109. From the 6 MiG-3 were shot down 4. There were a number of "DB-3" shot down by the Germans but I have no data on there losses and if there were more bombers up in that area.
