Then a mistake in operational reports. However, a handful of Yak-9s participated in this mission, loss report can clear this up if exists.

Perhaps there is a mistake somewhere. In that flight there were 8 Yak-9 and 6 Yak-1. The loss of two Yak-1 (lt. Gnatenko and st.lt. Garam).

addition:
Comrade suggested that there are other documents (mainly 1 Guards IAK), which indicates a slightly different information (on the number of missions, composition and fights), but in what fight and on which plane was the loss of lt. Gnatenko there is no single-valued data. St.Lt Garam returned the next day with the plane.

Hi Gabor, do you have names of the pilots for these losses that you might share with us?

Re: First Yak9 shot down

There are many names by date and regiments, but I cannot match them to the listed Yak serials, only as a small group of the potential pilots.

That would certainly be helpful if you would be so kind as to share what you do have

Previous thread gave us these details, if it helps...
91 IAP lost Yaks of Mayor Aleksandr Sergeevich Romanenko (attributed to AAA, possibly friendly), pilot Grevtzov and (Lt. Mikhail Mikhaylovich?) Shilov
