Amet-Khan Sultan was a highly decorated Crimean Tatar flying ace and double recipient of the honorary title Hero of the Soviet Union. For his excellence shown after his first Hero of the Soviet Union award in 1943 over various campaigns, he was awarded a second Hero of the Soviet Union medal on 29 June 1945. In total he scored 30 solo victories, 19 team victories, flew 603 combat sorties and flew in 150 aerial battles during the war. After the end of the war, Sultan worked in Moscow as a test pilot and lived to master piloting 96 different aircraft types before he was killed in a crash while testing a new engine on a modified Tupolev Tu-16 bomber.
Designed as a high-altitude interceptor version of the La-5, the La7 was first flown on November 19th, 1943. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
