I do not know about Mig-3s, but for the others I suggest you look at Soviet Lend-Lease Fighter Aces of World War 2 by George Mellinger, published by Osprey.

To answer Your question, You need to have new M.Bykov's book "Aces of Pathriotic War".

You must found regiments, armed with MiG's, Hurricanes, and Spitfires. Then - Look for top pilots of those regiments.

Then - look in Mikhails book and find Your answer

MiG-3 - Valentin Figichev, 55 iap - 11 personal kills /according some sources Arseniy Dmitriev from 15 iap scored 15, but this is still very doubtful/;

Spitfire 5 - Sergey Martynov, 57 giap - 6 personal kills;

Hurricane - Ivan Fedotov, 436 iap - 11 personal + 6 shared kills.

BTW, "Soviet Lend-Lease Fighter Aces of World War 2" book by George Mellinger (nothing personal to the author) is very weak in all positions: info, photos, profiles. It's not a XXI century quality book...

[Evgeny Velichko]

Mihkail - is it possible/hard to make a little "Top killers" tables, for examle:
"Top Bf109 killers",
"Top Bf 110 killers"
"Top Fw190 killers",
"Top Ju87 killers",
"Top Ju88 killers",
"Top He111 killers".

May be even a 5 or 10 pilots in each table will be great. Of coarse only personnel victoryes, not shared.

S!
