MiG-3 Aces of World War 2

The complete story of the pilots who 'made ace' while flying the original MiG fighters.

Description

The complete story of the pilots who 'made ace' while flying the original MiG fighters.

The MiG-1/3 family of fighters was built to satisfy a Soviet Air Force requirement for an advanced, fast, high-altitude fighter. Entering service in the spring of 1941, the problematic MiG-1 had its handling issues rectified with the hasty production of the MiG-3. Many of these were destroyed on the ground when the Germans launched Operation Barbarossa. Nevertheless, enough examples survived to allow pilots such as Stepan Suprun and Aleksandr Pokryshkin to claim a number of victories in the type.

MiG-3 Aces of World War 2 tells the complete story of the men who made ace in the first examples of the famous MiG fighter.
