Nikolai Glotov was born on December 19, 1919 in the village of Alekseevka, now Kuibyshev region, into a peasant family. In 1934, the family moved from the Volga to the Far East, to Khabarovsk. As a 15-year-old teenager, Nikolai begins his working life as a coppersmith apprentice at a factory (now Dalenergomash). Soon he became a mechanic. At the same time, he studied at evening school, completed 7 classes, and entered the Khabarovsk flying club. On the Amur coast, he first took to the air in a small U-2. But his cherished dream was to become a fighter pilot. In December 1941, Nikolai Glotov graduated from the Montenegrin Military Aviation Pilot School.
And then - the smoky sky of war. Northwestern Front. As part of 19 young pilots (with only 13 hours of flying time in combat vehicles!), he arrived at the 21st Fighter Aviation Regiment. And the combat work began... A year later, out of this entire group of young pilots, only Glotov remained alive. Apparently, this was his fate - to survive...
Nikolai quickly opened the scoring for his victories. In one of the battles, he rammed an enemy plane. Then there were other victories. True, most of them were won by him already as part of another unit. Recalls former fellow soldier N. I. Glotov, the famous Soviet fighter pilot Hero of the Soviet Union F. F. Arkhipenko:
“Nikolai Glotov and his wingman Nikolai Yakovlev turned out to be excellent reconnaissance pilots, they loved to fly out to freely search for enemy aircraft. I consider it my duty to note: not every pilot can be assigned the task of a reconnaissance flight; only a few are capable of solving this complex task. Such a rare pilot It was precisely Nikolai Ivanovich Glotov, a scout among scouts. Personally, I always bowed to him...
In January 1945, our troops went on the offensive on the Sandomierz bridgehead. But on the first day of the operation, all airfields were closed by fog. In the middle of the day, glimpses of blue sky appeared over our airfield and it was decided to release the famous pair of reconnaissance officers into the air: Guard Lieutenant N. Glotov and his wingman N. Yakovlev.
When they appeared in the battle area, the guidance officer gave the command to examine a certain section of the front. Glotov completed the task and reported that the enemy there was retreating randomly to the west. This message became an additional basis for the decision of the Commander of the 1st Ukrainian Front, Marshal Konev, to break through the 2nd line of defense by any means, throwing reserves into the breakthrough - our tank and mechanized armies. Which was successfully accomplished..."
By the end of the war, the flight commander of the 129th Guards Fighter Aviation Regiment (22nd Guards Fighter Aviation Division, 6th Guards Fighter Aviation Corps, 2nd Air Army, 1st Ukrainian Front) of the Guard, Junior Lieutenant N. I. Glotov, committed 334 (according to other sources - 203) combat sorties, including 75 for reconnaissance. In 33 air battles, he personally shot down 16 enemy aircraft and 8 in a group with his comrades, and destroyed a lot of enemy military equipment and manpower during the attack.
For courage and military valor shown in battles with the Nazi invaders, on July 27, 1945, Nikolai Ivanovich Glotov was awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union.
After the war he continued to serve in the Air Force and was in combat for more than three decades. In 1954 he graduated from the Red Banner Air Force Academy. He commanded a regiment, then taught at a military aviation school. Since 1973, Guard Colonel N.I. Glotov has been in reserve. Lived in the city of Chernigov. Awarded the Order of Lenin, the Red Banner (three times), the Order of the Patriotic War, 1st degree (twice), and medals. Died April 15, 1993.

Excerpt characterizing Glotov, Nikolai Ivanovich
Prince Bagration and Tushin now looked equally stubbornly at Bolkonsky, who was speaking restrainedly and excitedly.“And if, Your Excellency, allow me to express my opinion,” he continued, “then we owe the success of the day most of all to the action of this battery and the heroic fortitude of Captain Tushin and his company,” said Prince Andrei and, without waiting for an answer, he immediately stood up and walked away from the table.
Prince Bagration looked at Tushin and, apparently not wanting to show distrust of Bolkonsky’s harsh judgment and, at the same time, feeling unable to fully believe him, bowed his head and told Tushin that he could go. Prince Andrei followed him out.
“Thank you: I helped you out, my dear,” Tushin told him.
Prince Andrei looked at Tushin and, without saying anything, walked away from him. Prince Andrei was sad and hard. It was all so strange, so unlike what he had hoped for.
"Who are they? Why are they? What do they need? And when will all this end? thought Rostov, looking at the changing shadows in front of him. The pain in my hand became more and more excruciating. Sleep was falling irresistibly, red circles were jumping in my eyes, and the impression of these voices and these faces and the feeling of loneliness merged with a feeling of pain. It was they, these soldiers, wounded and unwounded, - it was they who pressed, and weighed down, and turned out the veins, and burned the meat in his broken arm and shoulder. To get rid of them, he closed his eyes.
He forgot himself for one minute, but in this short period of oblivion he saw countless objects in his dreams: he saw his mother and her big white hand, he saw Sonya’s thin shoulders, Natasha’s eyes and laughter, and Denisov with his voice and mustache, and Telyanin , and his whole story with Telyanin and Bogdanich. This whole story was one and the same thing: this soldier with a sharp voice, and this whole story and this soldier so painfully, relentlessly held, pressed and all pulled his hand in one direction. He tried to move away from them, but they did not let go of his shoulder, not even a hair, not even for a second. It wouldn’t hurt, it would be healthy if they didn’t pull on it; but it was impossible to get rid of them.
He opened his eyes and looked up. The black canopy of night hung an arshin above the light of the coals. In this light, particles of falling snow flew. Tushin did not return, the doctor did not come. He was alone, only some soldier was now sitting naked on the other side of the fire and warming his thin yellow body.
“Nobody needs me! - thought Rostov. - There is no one to help or feel sorry for. And I was once at home, strong, cheerful, loved.” “He sighed and involuntarily groaned with a sigh.
- Oh, what hurts? - asked the soldier, shaking his shirt over the fire, and, without waiting for an answer, he grunted and added: - You never know how many people have been spoiled in a day - passion!
Rostov did not listen to the soldier. He looked at the snowflakes fluttering over the fire and remembered the Russian winter with a warm, bright house, a fluffy fur coat, fast sleighs, a healthy body and with all the love and care of his family. “And why did I come here!” he thought.
The next day, the French did not resume the attack, and the rest of Bagration’s detachment joined Kutuzov’s army.
Prince Vasily did not think about his plans. He even less thought of doing evil to people in order to gain benefit. He was only a secular man who had succeeded in the world and made a habit out of this success. He constantly, depending on the circumstances, depending on his rapprochement with people, drew up various plans and considerations, of which he himself was not well aware, but which constituted the entire interest of his life. Not one or two such plans and considerations were in his mind, but dozens, of which some were just beginning to appear to him, others were achieved, and others were destroyed. He did not say to himself, for example: “This man is now in power, I must gain his trust and friendship and through him arrange for the issuance of a one-time allowance,” or he did not say to himself: “Pierre is rich, I must lure him to marry his daughter and borrow the 40 thousand I need”; but a man in strength met him, and at that very moment instinct told him that this man could be useful, and Prince Vasily became close to him and at the first opportunity, without preparation, by instinct, flattered, became familiar, talked about what what was needed.
