168 Gw.IAP was based in September at the airfield "ТЕКУЧИ" (6 days), at the airfield "БАНЯСА" (or "БЕНЯСА") (15 days) and at the "БАЛОМЫРУЛ-ДЕ-КЕМПЕНИ" airfield (9 days).
"ПИПЕРА" airfield is listed as a base for aircrafts of other two regiments of the same division.
The composition of the regiment is listed as - "Yak fighters" (without modification which rather indicates a mixed composition).

The airfields in question are :

- Tecuci
- Baneasa ( nothing to do with Pipera as researcher stated which is another airfield in Bucharest )
- Balomiru de Camp

I have info about 3 Saratov built Yak-3 from batch No.13, that were assigned to the 17 VA, 236 IAD:

1013
1113
1213

1213 was assigned to the 267 IAP withinn the 236 IAD. All three planes were handed over to the new Yugoslavian Air Force in April, 1945.
Not sure about the other two assignments. They could be either 267 IAP, or 117, 168 GvIAPs. (I have AC serial lists for only 611 IAP, 117 GvIAP and all of the IL-2s, given to Yugoslavia in April, 1945. Unfortunately no confirmed serials for the 168 GvIAP - yet.)

Pipera was an other airfield ?

I have overlapped Pipera's aerial taken by Luftwaffe during
WWII on the right of Google map of Baneasa airfield or of today's
Aurel Vlaicu airport . In WWII Pipera might have been just 1-2
Km SE of Baneasa airfield but part of the same facility and
probably under same control tower , Baneasa was the civilian
part of it -
