I couldn't find this thread sometime back but my friend "Kirche" found it and read this post. Having seen the original report he said all of this was wrong that showed up on the source that I ran across in 2007. He stated there was only one dogfight for the 5 GIAP that day of 4 Bf 109 vs. 3 LaGG-3 which ended with NO RESULTS. He said that the possible information was possibly from the memoirs of N.G. Ilyin who might have been confused about the date of the incident he was describing. So scrap this date from your list result for this incident.

Now day's I do not use Tomas Polak's "Stalin's Falcons". The best book so far is Михаил Быков "Советские Асы Победы Сталинских Соколов" which I got out of a Russian book store in New York for a good price.
