Hello,
In the period from 10 to 15 July 1942, 46 IAP, 180 IAP and 191 IAP left the 235 IAD and went to be recruited in Ivanovo.
On 07/22/1942, only 436 IAP flew on a combat mission on Hurricane aircraft. By order of 235 IAD, on that day, 156 IAP and 436 IAP were to fly out to escort IL-2 from 206 ShAD to the areas of the settlements of Pokrovsky, Morozovsky, Prishib, Obryvsky. The time of the meeting of attack aircraft with escort fighters over the Nizhne-Kumsky airfield, according to the plan, was at 7.30-8.30; 13.00-14.00 and 17.00-18.00.

According to the data of material losses, 5 Hurricane aircraft were lost 436 IAP on 07/22/1942 (4 were shot down by fighters and 1 burned down after an emergency landing on uneven terrain).
On July 22, 1942, only Lieutenant Mikhail Akimovich Skachkov died from the 436 IAP.
Pilots 436 IAP claims 1 Ju-87 (farm No. 2 area) and 5 Bf-109 (Shiroko-Atamanovsky, Kupyansk and Alexandrovsky localities area)
Best regards,
Kirill

Well,so my sources (Bergström) are wrong (8 hurricanes lost)...the victim of Barkhorn belongs to 436 IAP.
