Re: Ace vs. Ace
1.06.44, near Yassy, Rudel (Ju87G-1) and two his wingmen (Ju87D-5) were engaged by group of La-5.

1 Ju87D-5 was shot down, next - second Ju87D-5 (pilot - Fikkel), and Rudel was alone vs. La-5's.

Then one of La-5 attacked Rudel, and after low-alt chasing crasghed the earth.

There are only 1 La-5 loss near Yassy at that day: La-5 from 196 IAP, pilot - leytenant Spirin (mentioned as "shot down by ground fire").

So, no connections with Shestakov.
