Nikolai Gulayev, the Pe-2 pilot

Good morning Gentlemen,

I'm looking for info about Nikolai Gulayev, the Pe-2 pilot (not the P-39 pilot).

Where all of his kills scored in the Pe-2 ?
Was his second name Dmitrievich (as indicated by Polak) or Semenovich ?
Why did he die at the tender age of 45 ?

Cheers,

Michael

Hello Kirche,

thanks for the links.
Not only is the middle name different, the family name is also spelled differently !
Unfortunately, my Russian is only rudimentary.
Does the article reveal why Nikolay S. Gulyaev died at the age of 45 ?

Cheers,

Michael

Hi Michael,
Born on August 1, 1921. Colonel NS Gulyaev suddenly died March 31, 1967. He was buried in the city of Voronezh on Kominternovsky cemetery.
The cause of death is not specified.

Best regard,
Kirill

Good morning Kirill,

can you tell me if Gulyaev flew all his war missions in the Pe-2 ?

Best regards,

Michael

No. He started his missions in June, 1941. On June 22, 1941 his unit (46 BAP, later 80 GvBAP) had 61 SB-2 and Ar-2 planes and was rearmed to new Pe-2s only in the fall of 1941. So he must have flown his first missions in a (probably) SB-2.

Re: Nikolai Gulayev, the Pe-2 pilot

Hello Kirill & Gabor,

thanks for your posts.
Tomas Polak in STALIN'S FALCONS attributes 14 aerial victories to Gulyaev.
He also claims that his regiment was newly equipped with the Pe-2 at the beginning of the war.
From Kirill's post I learn that Gulyaev's first regiment wasn't 46.BAP. That might explain the two Pe-2 kills indicated by Polak: Messerschmitts on 22Jun and 24Jun 1941.
Is there a complete victory list to be found anywhere ?

Cheers,

Michael

Good morning Peter,

yes, but I think he shared them with his crew.

Cheers,
