Re: Ljt Gennady Fyodorov of 147-IAP killed

Hopefully this is of some help or interest:

The 147 IAP lost in aereal combat 11 fighters during the period of 22.6.-9.7.1941 and according to Soviet sources all these losses were due to enemy fighters. The 147 IAP made not any "taran" claims during the period of 22.6.-9.7.1941.

When it comes to the claims of German fighters at the Northern flank of East Front during the period of 22.6.-9.7.1941, about half of them appear to be accurate (or can be verified from the loss records of Soviet air units) during the period of 22.6.-9.7.1941 (overclaiming ratio about 2:1).
