Poltava defence in June, 1944

Hi Folks,

does anybody know which Soviet Yak-9 IAP was responsible for the air defence of the Poltava airfield, where the Luftwaffe destroyed more dozens of American heavies and fighters in June, 1944?

As far as I know one Soviet Yak-9 also got destroyed still on the ground. Which was this Soviet Yak unit and were there any serious military consequences of the failure of the fighter defence...? Thanks,

Gabor
