I have to agree again with Joe. According to what records I have, on 21 March 1953 the following claims were made:
334 FIS - 2 x MiG-15
335 FIS - 6 x MiG-15
336 FIS - 1 x MiG-15
39 FIS - 1 x MiG-15
No VVS claims were accepted on that date, contrary to the claims by Seidov/German. They may have MADE them but the 64th IAK command did not accept them.
Also, one proble I am coming across is the very high delta between US claims and admitted losses. RIght now on a day/date/force loss basis there is a US delta of around 51% (e.g. more claims than admitted losses.) That appears to be by either Chinese or Korean underreporting of actual losses; even with a total of 10 claims made, 4-5 MiGs would have gone down by the laws of probability, and no one 'fesses up to that on that date.
Overall Soviet overclaim delta looks like 80% and Chinese at 90% as near as I can figure. (This isn't rocket science, and two out of three "red force" participants are not cooperating in assisting in sorting it out.)
