Nikolai Vasil'evich 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
Sutiagin's comrades and his wife's 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.
