Nikolay Ivanovich Shmelkov
Hello everybody,
I'm looking for info on Nikolay Ivanovich Shmelkov who seems to have claimed 4 (at least 3 He 51s) and 2 shared flying Polikarpov I-15s in the Spanish Civil War. He later took part in the Winter War and the GPW. According to most sources he totally claimed 18 victories. However when I search in "Асы Великой Отечественной", I can't find him (I can have missed him since it isn't easy to search in a Russian book for a Swede) thus I believe that in fact he didn't (at least officially) claim anything during the Winter War and the GPW. Is there anyone who can help me with his claims? Best wishes/Håkan
