Ivan Kozhedub and his two Mustang victories

[kaki3152]

Over the decades, there have been stories circulating that Russia's top ace shot down two P-51 Mustangs when they tried to attack. While wasting time on Facebook, I came across another article saying the same thing. Any truth to this story?

Hi,
There is a lot "stories" about this incident, but as I remember, it was probably fairytales from the end of the war - check this thread

Yes, it is true, albeit I am not sure of the actual course of events.
