Nick, on the link listed Feoktistov it has he shot down a Bf 109 on the 29 Jul 1942. The only Bf 109 I found in the Stalingrad area with damage in a dogfight was Uffz. Wilhelm Crinus 3./JG 53 Bf 109 G-2 15% at PlQu. 1712. Nikita would probably know who caused that damage.

On looking at that link it has Feoktistov in his victories as shooting down three Ju 52 on the 15 May 42 while in the 66 ShAP (but in the episodes he was serving in the 568 on the 22 Mar 42). Next victories on the 06 June 42 over two Ju 52 while in the 568 ShAP.

Even the story on the 22 Mar 42 is strange. Ml. Lt. Aleksey Yakovlevich Shcherbakov of the 568 ShAP was listed as shot down or hit by a German fighter at the time before being listed KIA. Ml. Lt. Nikolay Nikolaevich Smirnov of the 568 ShAP as MIA after a dogfight and Ml. Lt. Vladimir Trofimovich Kartavitskiy (MIA). If they were in an air battle with the III/JG 3 this might account for some of the Il-2 shot down that day.
