Captain Konstantin Konstantinovich Vakulovsky (born 28 October 1894, date of death unknown) was a World War I flying ace credited with six aerial victories.[2]
Vakulovsky was born of nobility and was an engineer. He joined the army before the war began, and transferred to aviation. By 1915, he was at the front. He served with the 33rd Corps Detachment before being appointed to command the 1st Corps Fighter Detachment in 1916.[1] He used Nieuport 11 No. 1295 in his first victory, on 11 September 1916. An Albatros fell on 28 October, for the Russian's second win. By 14 April 1917, when he scored again, he had retrogressed to an older Morane-Saulnier I, No. 741. On 21 August, he won flying a Nieuport 17. For his final pair of wins, on 1 September 1917, he was flying a Nieuport 23.[2]
Vakulovsky was one of the Russian aces whose biographical trail fades into the Russian Revolution.[1]
