Sources were already mentioned in previous post:

-"5th Air Force Daily Lost, Damaged and Aborted Aircraft File"
-50-1106's preliminary accident report, F-84 lost in accident Oct 2.
-'relevant daily summaries', giving the RF-80 air combat loss and no other air combat losses Oct 2, means the 5th AF Daily Intel Summary for Oct 2 and the next couple of days (where details of the Oct 2 combats are filled in).
The specific Soviet victory credits are from their records via other researchers.
There are air combats given in US records in each time window where Soviet pilots were credited with victories Oct 2, but only the single RF-80 was actually lost, per those US records.
