Regarding the second part of your question the naval air regiments 96 OIAE, 8 and 32 IAP were the single ones based at Katcha .

I don't think that any of these regiments operated KOR-1/BE-2 aircrafts nor they ever dispatched on September '41 any assets to
support the Odessa fighters . When were both KOR's shot down eventually the source of the info in order
to come up with accurate details ?

Finally the newly formed naval air group ( end Sept '41) " Freydorfskay Escadrillia which also integrated 11 ScHAP ,it operated a few
serviceable KOR-1 ( 3) beside other types, though Freydorf was not near Katcha and was engaged in sept '41 in defence
of Perekop.

The Freydorfskey Group lost on Oct 5,41 two I-15 or I-153 due Romanian AA and fighter activity near Odessa

There are no records of such loss near Odessa nor the time frame u've mentioned .
