Denes, Should we look at the times listed as Eastern European for the Axis operations and the VVS as Moscow time? The records seem to be incomplete for the VVs losses on the regiment level from what I've read. On the 24Jun41 the VVS ChF raid on Constanza that was intercepted by III/JG52 it seems possible that Friedrich Wachowiak's 1st victory didn't go down. That leaves Gerhard Koeppen claiming 2 and 9 other pilots claiming one each. You indicated that 2MTAP was one of the units which was probably the 3 DB-3F's unit were the 7 SB's from 40SBAP?
Now the "smoking gun question" for the 15Jul41. You have St. Lt. Alexander Pokryshkin 55IAP's MiG-3 listed as crashed in the swamp 3 km N of Grozeshti with no cause. Stab/JG77 Fw Erwin Sawallisch claimed his 7th kill a MiG-3 over Kishinev. I've checked Dr. Prien's JFV 6/II and no one else claiming a MiG-3. Was Pokryshkin shot down by a Bf-109 and how close are these areas?
The book is great and I wait for the 2nd volume.
