No, it was from 01.08.42 to 01.06.43.
Your previous post was much closer to the truth.

All is of course relative but for ex over Karelian Isthmus on 28 June 44 196 IAP lost 5 Airacobras, 159 IAP lost 5 La-5s and 29 GIAP lost 4 Yak-9s, of which one was reportedly shot down by a La-5.

Your source please?

IIRC I have seen statistics on US heavy bombers losses to heavy Flak, but just now I don’t have time to find them.

What a pity... it's hard to find accurate datas with partition.
