Top MiG aces and scorers by type
Good evening,
Mikoyan-Gurevich is a major supplier of fighter planes starting with the MiG-1 in 1940. I tried to find out the top scorers of each type:
Cheers, Michael |

Re: Top MiG aces and scorers by type
The Mig-1 was flown in combat in the early days of the Russo-German war see the book Air battles Over the Baltic; The Air War on 22 June 1941- The Battle for Stalin's Baltic Region Mikial Timin. Sadly for the Mig-1 and 3 pilots the plane machine guns did not work.

Re: Top MiG aces and scorers by type
I have found no record officially of any MiG-1 making a victory claim in Timin's book he has:
MiG-1 in the Baltic Special Military District 22 June 1941: 21 IAP-1 10 IAP-1 241 SHAP-1 15 IAP-4 31 IAP -24 page 241 10 IAP a Squadron Commander attacking a German recon plane but the guns jammed page 342 has the 31 IAP the morning of 25 June 41 with 10 MiG 1/3s and 1 I-16 in the color profiles the book has 2 MiG-1s of the 31 IAP captured near Riga. |

Re: Top MiG aces and scorers by type
Good evening James,
thanks for your info which implies that 31. IAP is the most promising unit for finding a MiG-1 scorer. Have a nice Thursday, Michael |

Lorenzo Alberto Pérez Pérez replaces Gaurav Chiber as MiG-29 top scorer (2 kills), see also my MiG-29 thread:
