Thanks for your infos gentlemen,
it seems that it´s more difficult than I thought at first. I think we could assume that Lt L. Litvyak was lost in the afternoon (or evening) since she was on her fourth sortie that day (165-168).
Nikita where you´ve got the info about 31 GIAP from, did it lose some of it´s Yak-1s?
Like always the soviet documents are missing...I´ve also came upon another incident about which I would like to know more: On 13.03.44 the soviet ace Shestakov was lost in the Proskurov area reportedly in combat with Ju.87s, but I have the assumption that he could have fallen to a JG.52 fighter ace or even rammed the Bf.109 flown by Hans Dammers, who DOW 3 days later. To be sure more infos about the VVS La-5 losses in this area on that day would be needed. Also of interest would be the report of the soviet witnesses of Shestakov´s last fight.
I´m curious what the experts say....?
