Re: soviet claims
I noticed that HGabor's post had Mikhail Bykov's older book. The newer up to date book for 2008 has all the aces with 5 and more victories (Советские Асы Победы Сталинских Соколов 1941-1945). The hard part is also comparsions. Sergey Grigoroevich Glinkin 5 GIAP claimed two Bf 109 on the 6May43 but there is no losses in the ARR and III/JG3 for that day. He claims another on the 7May43 but again no loss in air combat for the III/JG3. For Stalingrad's air war should be a good comparsion for both sides with Nikita Ergov's up coming books on that air battle.
