This is rich data about Kozedub VS Mustang, on russian of course, and some ugly translation:
N.Bodrikhin about I.Kozheduba's fight with "Mustangs" in the foreword to the book ? Fidelity to fatherland ?:
As Ivan Nikitovich, on April, 17th 1945 told to me, having met in air ? Flying fortresses ? allies, he protecting turn has driven away from them pair ?Bf-109?, but in a second itself has been attacked by the American fighters of covering.
? To whom of fire? To me?! — with indignation recollected Kozedub half a century later. — the turn was long, with big, in kilometer, distances, with bright, unlike our and German, tracer shells. Because of the big distance it was visible, as the end of turn is bent downwards. I have turned over and, quickly having approached, attacked the extreme American (by quantity of fighters in escort I have already understood who it) — in a fuselage at it something has blown up, it is strong steaming and has gone with decrease aside our armies. With halfloop, having executed a fighting turn, from the overturned position, I am attacked the following. My shells have laid down very successfully — Mustang has blown up in air...
When the pressure of fight slept, the mood at me was completely not victorious — I in fact already have had time to make out white stars on wings and fuselages. ? Will arrange to me... On the first ?, — I thought, landing the plane. But all has managed. In a cabin of the "Mustang" who has landed in our territory, the huge Negro sat. On a question of the guys who have appeared in time to them who has shoot down him (more truly when this question have managed to translate), he answered: ?Fokke-Wulf? with a red nose... I do not think, that he then accompanied; have not learned still then allies to watch closely...
When have shown guncam film, the main moments of fight have appeared are fixed on them very precisely (you can see this unique staff on the first insertion on the book). A film looked both command a shelf, and divisions, and cases. The commander of a division Savitsky, to which we then entered into operative submission, after viewing has told: ? These victories — on account of the future war ?. And Paul Fedorovich Chupikov, ours commander, has soon given me these film with words: ? Take away them to itself, Ivan, and show nobody ?.
