Hi, guys:
A couple of years ago, when I readed the memoirs of Aleksandrin Pokryshkin in Spanish (my mother tongue), found them that vivd, that I began to dream about the possibility of cross-referencing his victories. Such desire was reinforced by my travel for Russia in January this year, when I bought "Познать себя в бою" (Poznat' sebya v Boyu = Know yourself in combat) in a library in Nizhnyy Novgorod. This rainy afternoon I feel the desire to begin that task, sharing with you my findings (when I am fully sure), and showing which German losses I consider possible candidates of being Pokryshkin's preys, and you could correct me if I am wrong or add more information.
Besides his memories, I took his claims from:
-Stalinovi Sokoli by Tomas Polak y Christopher Shores.
-Asy Velikoy Otechestvennoy Voyny. Samye rezultativnye liotchiki 1941-1945 gg by Mijail Bykov.
Besides these, I added five more that he scored in 1942 while flying the Yak-1 but which were not officially credited (I deduced the dates from his memoirs and the German loss archives)

I will begin with his victories in 1941, when he flew the MiG-3 with the 55 IAP, and his victories in 1942, when he flew the Yak-1, with the already redesignated 16 GIAP:
