    were replaced by Nelyubov and Bykovsky.

 3. The first, second and third pilots for first flight were ordered.

 4. Kamanin swapped Titov and Nelyubov because he did not like Nelyubov.

 7. Six men began to prepare for the first double Vostok-3/4 mission.

 8. Grigory Nelyubov was retired from trainings once more.

 9. Shonin was retired from flight preparations because of extra systo-
    lites ( heart fatigue ) but there were no new assignments. Shonin's
    place was occupied by Komarov and Volynov became single third pilot
    for both missions.

10. 11 men ( 6 men for two "Vostoks" -5 & 7 and 5 women for "Vostok-6" )
    were selected for triple mission.

11. Kamanin wanted two femal and one male missions and the crews were re-
    formed.

12. Komarov was removed to the first EVA "Voskhod" mission and two femal
    groups were called for double femal flight.
