MiG Menace Over Korea
Nikolai Vasilevich Sutiagin the top-scoring Soviet air ace of the Korean War flew his MiG-15 in lethal dogfights against American Sabres and Australian Meteors throughout the conflict. He is credited with at 22 kills. Yet the full story of his extraordinary achievements - and the story of the Red Air Force in Korea - has never been told. Only now with the opening of Russian archives can an authoritative account of his wartime exploits be written. The authors use official records the reminiscences of Sutiagins comrades and his wifes diary to reconstruct in vivid detail the career of one of the great fighter pilots. Nikolai Vasilevich Sutiagin was born in central Russia in 1923 and joined the Red Air Force in 1941. He fought with the 17th IAP (Fighter Aviation Regiment) throughout the Korean
War and is credited with destroying at least 22 enemy aircraft. Sutiagin won the Order of Lenin three Orders of the Red Banner and the Order of the Patriotic War First Class and he became a Hero of the Soviet Union in 1952. He retired from the Red Air Force as a major general in 1978 and died in 1986.
