Stepan A Bakhaev/Bakhayev/Bahayev
This pilot was an ace flying Yak 7, 9 with the 515th IAP in WW2, and then doubled his score in Korea with 523rd IAP.
According to "With the Yanks in Korea" his victories he claimed 5 F86, 3 F80, 2 F84 and a single B29. I know he claimed a share in an RB29 in December 1950 but this was before he reached North Korea. Does anyone have details of his claims? I believe he claimed 2 F80 on 24 June 1951.
(Confusingly I have also found a mention of a victory over a B29 on 29 December 1950 but I think this is his 26 December claim repeated.)

Keith
