Cool !
I like your website very much, especially those topics that are rarely discussed elsewhere.
You're right, Mr Bykov ranks his aces by their individual kills.
For my own personal notes I chose to add the decimals of the shared kills to the individual kills. It's just more of my liking.
I think we can safely say that Nikolai Zelenov scored above Europe only because the German advance was stopped before it reached Asian ground. To find the locations of his 17+8sh P-40 kills on Russian maps was rather difficult for me because I'm not very good in Russian. I found all those 25 places in what is today Russia but I cannot exclude that there are places of the same name in countries like Belarus or Ukraine and that these places are the correct ones.
