Re: Kapitan Sergey S Shchirov

Just found more information on him. He was imprisoned but later released after Beria's fall. Apparently he joined the 267 IAP in 1944 after falling foul of Beria. He chose to return to combat flying despite being offered a staff post. Russian ace lists have him with 18 kills, his Yak-3 shows 21.
