Re: Soviet Fighter Pilots
Hello Andrey,
My source for N. Y. Kutsenko is "Stalin's Falcons" by Tomas Polak and I quote - "Little is known of this reputedly quite high scoring pilot, said to have claimed 33 victories (13 shared) during the Great Patriotic War." I searched the net for him and a few sites mention him but provide no good data. "Stalin's Eagles" by Seidl, my other primary source on Soviet pilots, has absolutely nothing on Kutsenko. I find it hard to believe that such a successful pilot is so little known.
Thanks for the info on the Torronen combat.
Mike
