Sorry, I forgot to add this. 298 IAP had no losses for that day. BTW, I have not written that Petrov was damaged by Ettel and finished by Hartmann. Simply I have not got the exact time of losses yet, to match them correctly with German claims. Judging by number of claims and losses of Aircobras one could possibly go to Hartmann. I have put this day aside because there are some uncertain moments in terms of losses of other VVS units. Other Hartmann's claims on Aircobras look more suspicious than this one.
