Between 1600 hrs and 1740 hrs a pair of La-5 of 863 IAP, flown by Ml. Leytenant Igor Arsenievich Alexandrov and St. Leytenant Mikhail Alekseevich Lozhkin escorted attack aircraft to the Gross-Skaigiren area. On the return leg from the mission, they met in the Rosenthal area 4 Bf 109s, which were higher than them. Two of them launched an attack on the Soviet fighters but Alexandrov turned on them. Both German pilots turned away and left. The second pair of Me-109 attacks did not attack. At this time, the Soviet pilots were shot at by up to four Flak batteries in the Stablacken area (now Priosjornoje, Russia). Lt Lozhkin did not return to his airfield and was never seen again. He was presumably shot down by Flak.
