Upon recovering, Dovchenko was found by some of his men who had followed the rocket sled's trail. The rapid speed rendered the Russian officer unconscious, and when it stopped, Jones was able to push him off the vehicle into the dirt and slipped away. Dovchenko attacked Jones with a chain, but failed when the rocket sled activated and the two were shot out into the desert on a rail track incinerating some of Dovchenko's men in the process. Dovchenko battled Jones, after being thrown through the glass into a control room, accidentally starting the ignition sequence. Īfter the Roswell remains were acquired, Jones escaped, Dovchenko caught up to the professor, and they crashed into the launch room for an experimental rocket sled. After punching Jones in the jaw for not answering him, he was forced to give up when Spalko arrived and took over the operation. Pulling Jones and McHale out of the trunk of a staff car, his men stood aside as Dovchenko tried to question Jones about the building. Under the guise of an American army officer " Colonel Truman", Dovchenko commanded the team that infiltrated Hanger 51. Taking the two and a bag of Jones's recent acquisitions, he and his men, now disguised as an American army convoy, approached the Nevada military base housing Hangar 51. In 1957, Polkovnik Antonin Dovchenko led a group of Soviet soldiers to the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico and, as an unmarked force, they captured Indiana Jones and George McHale at a set of coastal Mayan ruins.
