| Soviet involvements over China 1923-1939 |
Advisors 1923-1927 for Sun Yat-sen's Koumintang in his fight against warlords. Under the command of V.E.Sergeev.
Advisors 1927-1929 for Mongolian Army.
Clash with Chinese over Mandchuria.
Actions in Sianking Province as ally of a Mandchurian warlord in his war against ethnic rebels.
1937-39 Sino-Japanese War and rotations of Soviet volunteers with 1250 aircraft supplied.
Direct clashes with Japanese Kwantung Army, Lake Khasan with no aerial engagement reported and Khalkin-gol May-September 1939, western Manchuria.
| Claims and credits |
Soviet credits were as usual in the V-VS divided into individual and shared claims. In the Khalkin-gol campaign, the claims (586 - T.Polak) were considered by many authors as very exaggerated and not confirmed by either the Japanese losses nor even the number of aircraft present in the different air battles.
| The lists |
All the lists present the following data:
Name and (when known) first name are presented with arbitrary choice for the spelling (russian, german, arab names...).
RANK of the pilot: see the rank page for the meaning of the abbreviations and the equivalence.
According to the pages, COUNTRY, NATION for the nationality or ethnic origin, AIR_SERVICE for the air arm, are provided.
The number of victories represents usually the total of kills (individual plus shared). The shared kills are indicated when known under the form [indiv+shared]. The official score is indicated when different from the total (American and British scores of ww2 for example).
Authors of the SOURCES column are given; report to the bibliography page to find the books, articles, web pages in alphabetical order. The OTHER_SOURCES column presents the divergent scores with sometimes the author of the source.
The DETAIL column shows occasionally the type of kill, balloons, V-1s, ground kills, unconfirmed kills...
The NOTE column exposes different commentaries and for lack of space, abbreviations are used: report to the abbreviation page for their meaning.
