Re: Aircraft type "J 61" - loss March 31st 1942

If this is from a German document, then it is almost certainly:

J 61 = incorrect German designation for the MiG-1 and MiG-3 fighters up to about mid-1942.

I ran into the use of this designation often in the TsAMO 500 Akte 476 Flak documents and the Ob.d.L. Tages Lageberichten in both the TsAMO and NARA collections.
