Daughter, Nelya Mikhailovna (1957. born.), a graduate of the Kazan Conservatory, teacher of music in drama school.

At school, Michael studied successfully, but was not the best of playful. But one day if it replaced. Happened after the plane landed in Torbeevo. The pilot, who appeared in his clothes magician, swift iron bird - all subdued Michael. Do not restrain himself, he asked if the pilot:

- And as a pilot statN

- It should be a good student - the answer. - The practice of sport, be bold, brave.

It happened some misunderstanding with the documents and he was forced to go to River College. But the dream of the sky is not extinguished. She captivated him more and more. There remained only one - sign up in the Kazan aviation club.

Michael did just that. It was difficult. Sometimes late into the night sitting in the airplane or engine class Aeroclub. And in the morning had hurried to the river college. Once the day came when Michael first, but with an instructor, took to the air. Excited, beaming with happiness, he told his friends: "The sky - my life!"

This high dream and led him, a graduate college of the river, are already up the Volga, in the Orenburg Aviation School. Education there was happiest times in my life Devyataeva. He was gathering the crumbs of knowledge about aviation, read a lot, with diligence practiced. Happy as ever, soaring into the sky, which until recently only dreamed of.

And summer 1939. He - military pilot. And specialty - the most menacing for the enemy: the fighter. First, he served in Torzhok, then transferred to Mogilev. It was lucky again: was in the squadron of the famous aviator Zahara Vasilyevich Plotnikova, had time to war in Spain and Khalkhin -. From him recruited Devyatayev combat experience and his comrades.

But the war broke out. On the first day - sortie. Although most Mikhail Petrovich did not knock down "Junkers," he said, maneuvering, brought it to his commander Zahara Vasilyevich Plotnikova. And he did not miss the enemy aircraft at once it.
Soon lucky and Mikhail Petrovich. Once in a break in the clouds his eyes fell "Ju-87". Devyatayev, without wasting a second, and ran for nimeni And a moment later saw him at the cross sight. Immediately gave two machine guns. "Junker" flushed and crumpled to the ground. There were other good luck.

Soon distinguished themselves in battle aroused from Mogilev in Moscow. Michael Devyatayev, among others, was awarded the Order of the Red Banner.

The situation grew ever more acute. Devyataevu and his comrades have already had to defend the approaches to the capital.

He fulfilled this assignment, but on the return journey came to an unequal battle with the "Messerschmitt". One of them was shot down. And he was wounded. So he again found himself in hospital.

In the new part of his tour of the medical commission. The decision was unanimous - in slow-moving aircraft. So a fighter pilot was in the regiment night bombers, and then in the air ambulance.

Only after meeting with Alexander Ivanovich Pokryshkin he has once again become a fighter pilot. It is already in May 1944, when Devyatayev found the "farm Pokryshkin".

Not once raised Devyatayev his plane in the air. Repeatedly, along with other pilots Division A. I. Pokryshkin fought the Nazi vultures.

But then came the fateful July 13, 1944. In an air battle over Lvov, he was wounded and his plane burst into flames.

And finally - the mysterious island Uzedon where she developed super-power weapons, before which, according to its creators, no one to resist. Prisoners Uzedona - it is actually sentenced to death.
And all this time, the prisoners ripe one thought - escape, escape into whatever was. Only on the island Uzedon this decision has become reality. Nearby, at the airport Peenemц?nde, were aircraft. And was the pilot Mikhail Devyatayev, a man brave, fearless, able to carry out planned. And he realized, despite the enormous difficulties. February 8, 1945 "Heinkel" 10 prisoners landed on our soil. Devyatayev delivered command strategically important information about a secret Uzedone where and tested missiles Nazi Reich. There was still two days before the planned Nazi massacre Devyataevym. He saved the sky, in which he was immensely in love with since childhood.
