4.IAP began to take off against the bomber formation at 14:00 DSZ so downing of a Yak-1 2 minutes later 15 km from the airfield and away from the active area seems questionable. But if the difference in the German and Russian clock readings was sufficient ...

Quast's claim at 14:15 is matched well with the air combat of 4.IAP.

According to JFV 12/2:
Rall LaGG-3 at 14:15 (according to Wood: Obleser at 16:10)
Obleser at 14:18 (according to Wood: Obleser again at 16:11)

Complete confusion!
What's in the original documents?

Kind regards,
Andrey
