Alex,
You wrote a list of names that are associated with the loss of 16 GIAP 31.05.1944. But, out of 20 names I found in the documents of the 9 GIAD or 205 IAD only 13 names. Only 7 people were in the 16 GIAP. Perhaps the other names are incorrect?

Photographs 1 (Maior) and 3 (Capitan) made in the period between 2 July 1944 (2nd «Gold Star») and November 1944 (no 3-th "Order of the Red Banner").
According to some data 20.07.1944 - Rechkalov was commander of 16 GIAP already as a guard Major. But 2nd "Gold Star" received by him as guard Captain. According to other sources he could be a guard Сaptain to 25.09.1944. The third photo was taken earlier than the first.
The second foto ("Capitan-Parade of 1945") - maybe it's not G. A. Rechkalov?

Rechkalov was removed from his post of commander (or VRIO commander) of 16 GIAP twice:
- 20.05.1944 (after 10.05.1944 - the death of Olefirenko I. K.)
- 09.03.1945 (after 28.02.1945 - death of squadron commander Tsvetkov V.P.)
Awards Rechkalov G. A. no one is deprived - on the contrary including the battle 31.05.1944 (shot down 1 FW-190) he was awarded the 3rd "Order of the Red Banner".
