Re: Russian fighter losses

The only thing You can do to have full losses - to spent some month/years in Podolsk TcAMO & TcVMA archives...

Many historeans in Russia spent YEARS in it - but untill now there are NO full VVS losslists. There were hundreds, thounthands of various iap/shap/bap/sap/rap e.t.c., and each of it has its own (and even many with different periods of action) ZhBD ( Zhurnal Boyevoy Deyatel'nosti polka) - it is like KriegsTageBusch - War Log Book. To make losslist of even small iap (fighter regiment - like Gruppe on Luftwaffe) - You need to find thouse ZhBD's LOGBOOKS of that iap (it is rare that it has 1 of it - usually 2 or more, and some of them could be lost), and hard work to compile. And now just look on list of iap's:

Got it?

Some very small info is found, but 100% it is not FULL.

Best wishes!
