the Highest Scored Soviet I-16 and I-15 Pilot?

[knusel]

Good evening Gentlemen,

I've found that very old and very interesting thread.
Maybe some of you want to join in revitalizing it.

The highest scoring I-16 pilot is either

• Ivan Pidtykan, 16,14 [12+10sh]
• or Sergei Gritsevets, 9+24sh (depending on the decimals of the shares)
• or Ivan Lakeev, 16+20sh (according to some sources).

The top I-15 pilot is Leopoldo Morquillas Rubio, probably 21 kills in the type.
Does anybody know when he died ?

Cheers,

Michael
