	Ivan Nikitovich Kozhedub - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		(Marshal) Ivan Nikitovich Kozhedub (Russian: Иван Никитович Кожедуб, June 8, 1920 - August 12, 1991) was a Soviet hero military aviator of Ukrainian descent.
		The American fighter escort mistook him for a hostile German attacker (there were many such mishaps because, from a distance, the Soviet La-5(7) and US P-47 look fairly similar to the German FW-190).
		Kozhedub was awarded the Order of Lenin twice, seven Orders of the Red Banner, Order of Alexander Nevsky, two Orders of the Red Star, Order of the Patriotic War First Class, and numerous medals.
