George, I wasn't to far off with my last post about the Yak-1. I read a VVS fighter pilot story of his describing a "Pawn" Yak-1 flying in the area of Army Group Center with no red stars on the plane in the same time period. So that shoot down might be Luftwaffe related.

Another friendly fire on 11Aug41 involving a raid on Berlin by TB-7's. Lt. Boris Afanasyevich Kubyshko's (420 DBAP) TB-7 was shot down returning to base by an I-16 of the KBF. Christer Bergstrom's volume 1 of BCRS has the same incident and another relating to 2 TB-7's shot down by friendly AAA and the the C.O. of 81 AD kolberg Mikhail Vodopyanov being jumped by fired on by I-16's with no damage.
