Wow. He had a lot of FW190 encounters.

He was the highest-scoring of the French aces still alive. 16 out of his 23 kills are actually shared ones, counted as full kills to each of the involved pilots in the Soviet claiming system. This doesn't remove anything to him as a great pilot, a true Free French, and a firm supporter to the Soviet struggle during the Patriotic War. It just proves that he played it in a very collective way, trademark of the best squadrons.

 

Most probaby the sole Hero of the Soviet Union living in Texas, for the last 60 years !!!!
