According to a rough translation into English from Russian sources (see link #6 for the original Russian text):
"25/10/1951 Kornienko Nikolay Lukich shot down an F-80 in the Shukusen region. On this day, the US Air Force acknowledged the loss of 3 F-84s (51-528 of 49th FBW and 51-552, 50-1159 of 136th FBW), 2 F4U-4, 1 FH-H2 "Banshee" Bu Aer No 124959, 1 F-51D and 2 helicopters. So Kornienko's victory is confirmed - he has either 1 of the F-84s or the FH-H2 "Banshees" on his account - their silhouettes are very similar to the F-80 and they are easy to confuse."
