any MiG-1 aces

[knusel]

Good morning Kirill,

in the biographical text Polak writes that "Mikhail Sedov joined 296th IAP in October 1941, where he initially flew MiG 1s."
Oddly, in the list of known claims he writes that in late August 1941 he shot down a Bf 109 in an I-16 with 296th IAP.

Michael Hi,
296 IAP was at the front 31.07.1941 on 01.10.1941 and flew on I-16. Then was upgraded to the Yak-1 and returned to the front 22.01.1942.
If M. S. Sedov arrived in the regiment in October 1941, maybe he was up to 295 IAP? (but 295th regiment also flew on I-16).
Perhaps in your source confused the MiG-1 and Yak-1?
Lt M.S. Sedov - 3+6 claims and 101 c.m. [according to M.Bykov].
In the award document stated that the South-Western front he was with 11.02.1942 and had by 09.03.1942 - 32 combat missions and 2+5 claims. "+5 group" claims it is 09.03.1942 (the famous battle of "7 vs 25" of Eryomin group)

Hello Kirill,

yes, the evidence for Sedov flying the MiG-1 is too weak.
Does Bykov mention that plane in his Sedov text ?
Does he give the decimals of Sedov's shared kills ?

I wish you a good weekend, sincerely,

Michael

Michael,
There is no additional information on the issues. M. Bykov's information only as a commentary to the interview with Yeremin Boris Nikolayevich.

Hello Kirill,

Mr. Bykov might have omitted Sedov because he hasn't 5 personal kills.
However I only found him on one website:
http://wio.ru/aces/ace2.htm
which assigns him to the 969. IAP.

Kind regards,

Michael
