In recent years, russia has confirmed a fact long suspected by United Nations airmen: Soviet fighter pilots flew and fought during the Korean War. Since that revelation, numerous Russian pilots have emerged from the shadows of secrecy to meet and compare notes with their former American adversaries. In the process, cases have turned up in which outstanding pilots from both sides met in classic duels of "ace versus ace." lwo such champions, Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15 ace Semyon A. Fedorets and Joseph M. McConnell, who became the American ace of aces of the Korean War flying the North American F-86 Sabre, battled each other in the spring of 1953. Born in the Ukraine in 1924, Semyon Alekseievich Fedorets flew his first combat missions, ironically enough, in American-built Bell P-39s during World War Ⅱ. He mainly flew in defense of Leningrad during 1944 and 1945, and since this sector was quiet throughout that period, he had no opportunity to score against the Germans.

McConnell成为了这样的冠军，他们在朝鲜空军的F-86 Sabre上成为了朝鲜战争的王牌鸽王。 Semyon Alekseievich Fedorets于1924年出生于乌克兰，在第二次世界大战期间，他的第一次战斗任务颇具讽刺意味地在美国制造的Bell P-39飞机上进行了。他主要在1944年和1945年为列宁格勒进行防御飞行，并且由于在此期间该领域一直很安静，所以他没有机会得分反对德国人。
