Soviet Fighter Pilots
Hello,
I am seeking some (any) data on the following 2 Soviet fighter pilots during WW2 who flew against Finland. On 2 May 1943, Finn ace Iikka Torronen was shot down over Oranienbaum. The Soviet victor, according to my sources, was a staff sergeant flying a LaGG-3 from 10.GIAP. The name I have is Kutsherenko. I was wondering if this Soviet pilot was in fact the little known N. Y. Kutsenko? My sources have next to nothing on this reputedly high scoring ace (33 kills of which 13 were shared). The next Soviet pilot I'm interested in is Mikhail M. Zelenov. Another high scoring ace with 34 kills he was reportedly shot down on 29 June 1944 near Viirpuri (Vyborg). My question is who brought down this renowned ace? Was it a Finn or a German from Gefechtsverband Kuhlmey? Any light shed on these questions would be most appreciated! Mike
