Re: Ivan N. Kozhedub, 62 victories?

In Mikhail Bykov's revised book of Soviet Aces there is a correction for the date of the 19Feb45 to the 17Feb45 with the location of east of Alto-Fridlyand( Friedland?). In the comments it has "In the operational documents it is recorded as "Me-109" with a reactive motor, it is subsequently substitued to "Me-262" with the date of the battle is erroneously indicated as the 19 February 1945."

I read the review for his auto-bio on a Russian website which it mentions that he did shoot down two P-51's over Berlin that attacked him but no date was mentioned. Also nothing listed in Bykov's book.
