Perhaps there is a mistake somewhere. In that flight there were 8 Yak-9 and 6 Yak-1. The loss of two Yak-1 (lt. Gnatenko and st.lt. Garam).

addition:
Comrade suggested that there are other documents (mainly 1 Guards IAK), which indicates a slightly different information (on the number of missions, composition and fights), but in what fight and on which plane was the loss of lt. Gnatenko there is no single-valued data. St.Lt Garam returned the next day with the plane.
