- GUREVICH, MIKHAIL IOSIFOVICH (1893–1976), Soviet aviation
constructor. Gurevich was born in 1893 in the village of Rubanshchina
which is in today's Kursk district, Russia. He graduated from the
airplane construction faculty of the Kharkov Technological Institute in
1925. In 1929 he began working in the aviation industry and from 1938 to
1957 held the rank of deputy chief constructor and from 1957–1964
chief constructor. He received the degree of doctor of
technological sciences in 1964. Together with Ar. I. Mikoyan in
1940 he planned and built the high-speed fighter plane the MiG-1
(the name being an abbreviation of Mikoyan and Gurevich). After
being upgraded, as the MiG-3, this plane was widely employed
during World War II. After the war, the same duo
designed the first Soviet supersonic jet fighters (also part of
the MiG series). Gurevich was awarded the order of the U.S.S.R.,
the Stalin Prize (in 1941, 1947, 1948, and 1953), and the Lenin
Prize (in 1962). He was designated a Hero of Socialist Labor in
1957.
