Aces of Korean war

USSR     USA
China     Canada
North Korea     Britain and Australia


Notes:
  • For Soviet fighter pilots the victories had been counted only by the number of the planes shut down over friendly territory, so actual scores could have been higher.
  • Some claims of American pilots could reflect only damaged planes, which managed to return to their bases.
  • WW2 scores included.
  • Cold War scores included:
      kill by Stepan Bakhayev (shared with his squadmate) - RB29 recon plane (1950);
      kill by Ralph Parr - Il-12 civilian unarmed airliner followed from Port-Artur to Vladivostok (1953).
  • Lu Minh shot down a B17 from Taiwan in 1956.
  •   g means group aerial victories (shared kills).
  •   n means unconfimed (not official) aerial victories.
