The situation with Mordukhovich's score is not completely clear yet (BTW as with many other Soviet aces' scores too)...
19 is the figure from Soviet popular literature, not from documents. Maybe this is mainly 'propaganda fact'. In documents we found only 11 personal confirmed kills, scored by this pilot. This figure is not 100% decisive, but there are serious doubts that some day I or anybody else will found those 8 victories... Another argument is the fact that Mordukhovich wasn't awarded HSU and never was presented to it.
