Biplane fighter aces

Soviet Union

Starshii Leitenant Sergey Andreevich Nechaev

In October 1941, starshii leitenant Nechaev served in the 120 IAP, which was equipped with Polikarpov I-153s.

On 10 October, he claimed a Bf 109 with RS82 rockets.
It is possible that this was 4-victory pilot Feldwebel Kurt Maraun of III/JG 27, who parachuted from his stricken fighter.

Nechaev ended the war with one biplane victory.
