Ivan Kozhedub holds the record for the highest number of confirmed air combat victories of any Soviet or Allied pilot (effectively the Allied "Ace of Aces") during World War II (called the 'Great Patriotic War' in the Soviet Union). He is regarded as the best Soviet flying ace of the war, and is associated with flying the Lavochkin La-5. He was also reputed to have a natural gift for 'deflection shooting', i.e. the rare ability to hit targets from very oblique angles.
