I do not know what the correct name of this airfield is, but I see how airfields of 168 Gw.IAP in September 1944 were named Chief of Staff of 10 Gw.ShAD Guards Colonel Artemyev and Head of the operational department Guard Major Usanov.
168 Gw.IAP was based in September at the airfield "ТЕКУЧИ" (6 days), at the airfield "БАНЯСА" (or "БЕНЯСА") (15 days) and at the "БАЛОМЫРУЛ-ДЕ-КЕМПЕНИ" airfield (9 days).
"ПИПЕРА" airfield is listed as a base for aircrafts of other two regiments of the same division.
The composition of the regiment is listed as - "Yak fighters" (without modification which rather indicates a mixed composition).
168 Gw.IAP documents of this time are not publicly available on the official TsAMO websites, and the division documents are only those copies that were sent to the headquarters of the 5th VA. Probably documents of the required level have not yet been scanned (or have already been scanned, but not published).
In any case, only operational documents and summary reports from TsAMO are published. Documents on personnel (in addition to what is available on MO RF sites) and movement of planes/engines should be viewed in the archive.
