Hi Michael,
About the pilot Solov'ev, being lost on that date, nothing comes up on the Loss Reports.
Does the Combat Report say he was lost, and how?
If so, in the following days entries is there any mention of him returning to unit? If so there is the (possible) reason for him not being mentioned in the Loss Reports.
But again, I may have missed something.....
