About Konstantin Sheberstov

Lived 1919 – 1953 (aged 34). Konstantin Sheberstov was a Russian flying ace.

Konstantin Yakovlevich Sheberstov (; 14 March 1919 – 23 March 1953) was a MiG-15 pilot of the Soviet Union. In World War II he is credited with shooting down 2 FW-190s. He was a flying ace during the Korean war, with around 12-13 victories. His number of victories is disputed. In 1951, he allegedly made a false claim on one of Yevgeny Pepelyaev's victories and was exposed, disgracing himself. On 23 March 1953, he died in a mid-air collision over Oreshkovo airfield (located in Voroynsk village, Babyninsky District, Kaluga Oblast).
