Re: Ivan Shamanov
Yeah, but I am a bit sceptical about the EA types. Eg. on 19.09.1944 Krapiva's crew claimed a Bf 109 which was in fact an Me 110 (for 100%), using probably landing lights, being lost in dogfight in the same area - at night. Misidentification of enemy AC was very common even among the soviet daylight fighters, since eg. Hungarian marked Bf 109s were regularly reported as Fw 190s by the soviets, not to mention their claims at night... Also, the Bf 109s weren't common at night either...
