A friend of mine told me that there were circumstancial evidences showing
that it was Soviets' kill.  Chinese credited the kill to Ji-Hui Chang.
However,
Chang himself was also shot down in the same battle while his wingman,
Zhi-Yu Dan, was killed.  Interestingly, there seemed to be no other US claim
of shooting down MiGs other than George Davis' two kills reported by his
wingman.

Does anyone have more info?

Thanks
