Konstantin Novikov
Konstantin Afanasyevich Novikov (; 6 August 1919 — 9 January 1958) was a Soviet flying ace during World War II, who was awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union on 1 May 1943 for his initial victories. Historians disagree on the exact breakdown of his final tally at the end of the war with Mikhail Bykov indicating that he totaled 28 solo and five (or three) shared shootdowns, and Andrey Simonov claiming that he had 31 solo and nine shared instead..
