These are the claims as listed in several sources, mostly from the "1059 Document", the Naboka book, and the Seidov/German book.

In several cases the claims were originally given to a junior pilot, but final award by 64th IAK was to the personnel whose names are listed here. Soviet sources originally claimed some 51 aces, many of whom were given "ace" credit for "group" kills scored by their units. Out of some 1,106 claims, 3 were by Chinese pilots flying with Soviet units, and 110 were not given accreditation to a division or unit.

1.Pepelyayev is reported to have 19 or 21 victories, but he gave official credit to his wingman in several cases. This is the summary official credited listing.

2.Ponomarev served with both the 17th IAP and 523rd IAP.

3.Shelomonov served with regiments in two different divisions, the 50th IAD and 324th IAD. This is his total score in Korea.
