Re: HSU Kovalov & Medvetjev
The 10th Guards Fighter Regiment was the former 71st IAP-KBF and became 10th GuIAP-KBF on 31 May 1943. It operated in Leningrad area.
Another Guard naval unit in the same area was the 4th GuIAP-KBF. This one has an ace called Kovalev (with e rather than o), Konstantin Fedorovitch, but he was only a Starshii Leitenant and an eskadrilya commander (in 1943) and ended the war as a Naval Kapitan with 34 victories (13 shared). He received only one HSU.
