Hello Gabor,

don't know when 1st Yak-9 was downed but it was certainly before 19.Jun.43:

26.May.43 Yak-9 No.0130 Sgt Barabanov M.S. (15.IAP 278.IAD) was downed by Bf109 near Kievskoye (Kiewskoje) (Kuban area). Pilot baled out, WIA.
26.May.43 Yak-9 No.0416 Lt Bykov V.N. (15.IAP 278.IAD) FTR in the same area

Best regards,
Andrey
