For the first one: Yak-1 from 21st IAP (fighter regiment) of the Soviet Air Force (Red Banner Baltic Fleet) of regimental commander (kompolk for short) Lieutenant Colonel Y.Z. Slepenkov, Winter 1943

 

For the second one: Yak-1B from 3rd Guards IAP Soviet Air Force (Red Banner Baltic Fleet) of Lieutenant L.P. Savkin, 1943

so the second one is GIAP not IAP ?

[Brano]

Yak-1B 3rd Guards Fighter Aviation Regiment, Armed Air Forces of Red Banner Order Baltic Fleet, lieutenant L.P.Savkin. "L" is probably typo, as 3.GIAP had listed Nikolay Pavlovich Savkin in rank of mladshyi Leitenant, not returned from combat sortie (MIA) 15.8.1943.

EDIT:

Other source has more info about his last sortie: Lost orientation in thick fog, did emergency landing on Finnish territory, after two weeks taken prisoner. Died in POW camp.
