Childhood and school
Born in vil. Gavrilkovo, Rostov region, in a peasant family.
In 1936 the family moved to Yaroslavl.
The mother of Nikolai Krivov, Ekaterina Fedorovna, remembered him as a living person, that he grew up as a hardworking, modest, capable athlete and a good friend. At school No. 16 named after Podvoisky, he studied diligently, for good studies and exemplary behavior he was awarded a commendable diploma and a book with poems by A. S. Pushkin.
Nikolai finished 9 classes and the Yaroslavl flying club, the airfield of which was at that time outside the Suzdal village where the Krivovs lived.
Studies
In August 1940, the Yaroslavl RVC, on the recommendation of the flying club, sent Nikolai to the Sverdlovsk aviation school for primary training, and for specialization he was transferred to the Engels aviation school for pilots. From the first days of study, he showed himself to be a capable cadet, was appointed foreman of the flight and flight group. He was the first among the cadets to make an independent flight to the zone on a combat aircraft. Before graduation from the school, going on vacation, he wrote to his mother home: “It is also autumn here. We still live in tents, but you, mother, do not worry that we will be cold. At night I cover myself with an overcoat or a jacket with a fur collar. During the day it is hot in the tunic. What are you worried about my profession? Quite in vain. She is the most wonderful profession - to fly!
Upon graduation, he was sent as a pilot to the 58th Red Banner High-Speed Bomber Regiment, and then transferred to the 623rd Aviation Regiment, where he was engaged in ferrying aircraft to the front. In August 1942 he completed courses in the 1st separate training regiment for an attack pilot - the most dangerous profession among Air Force pilots. Indeed, this is a dangerous profession in aviation. A fighter pilot fights in air combat at different altitudes with enemy fighter pilots and bomber pilots.

When approaching, he suppressed 3 anti-aircraft points, set fire to 2 cars, but the control cables were damaged by shell fragments. The pilot applied all his skill and brought the car to his airfield.
For 6 sorties, the commander of the troops of the 6th Army, by his order of December 27, 1942, awarded Junior Lieutenant Krivov with the Order of the Patriotic War, 2nd degree.
61 assault aviation regiment was part of 2 air army and supported the ground forces of the Voronezh and Ukrainian fronts. Active fighting pilot Krivov showed in the Battle of Kursk and in the battle for the Dnieper.
During the lull between the battles of Stalingrad and Kursk, Nikolai, in general, performed 12 reconnaissance flights.
On February 12, near Belgorod, he discovered an airfield and, in violation of existing instructions, that in reconnaissance you can only engage in reconnaissance of the enemy and in no case should you bomb the enemy unless it is necessary. Nikolai, for 3 calls on the runway, created 2 fires, unharmed, despite anti-aircraft cover, returned to the regiment and delivered valuable information.
On June 16, 1943, one without fighter cover flew to reconnaissance the enemy in the Pochaevka, Luchki area and was attacked by two enemy fighters. Thanks to excellent piloting technique, the ability to tactically competently conduct air combat, Nikolai shot down a German vulture, but his Il-2 was badly damaged, and he himself was wounded in the head and “on parole and on one wing” brought the entire attack aircraft riddled with bullets to the home airfield.
In July 1943, the epic Battle of Kursk broke out. The Germans concentrated their main reserves here, new armored vehicles: tanks "Tiger", "Panther" and self-propelled guns "Ferdinant", in order to take revenge for the defeat at Stalingrad.
These days, Nikolai Krivov led groups of attack aircraft 3 times a day to repel the onslaught of the enemy. In the Belgorod direction near Prokhorovka, the largest tank battle of the Second World War took place, and hundreds of German aircraft were flying in the air. But it is not so easy to scare a Russian soldier, and even an attack pilot.
On July 12, 1943, the Ilov group of Nikolai Krivov, after completing the task, returned to their airfield and was attacked by 6 fighters. Stormtroopers stood "in a circle" and accepted the battle. Rescuing the young pilots, the flight commander Krivov took the fire of the fighters on himself. The car was hit, the planes turned into a sieve, oil was pouring into the cockpit, the pilot was wounded by a shell fragment in the head, but continued to fight and shot down an enemy fighter.
All aircraft returned to the airfield without major damage, except for the leader. For successfully conducted 45 sorties, Lieutenant Krivov was awarded two Orders of the Red Banner by orders of the commander of the 2nd Air Army in July and September 1943.
In the battle for the Dnieper, Lieutenant Krivov drove the Il-2 16 times to destroy enemy manpower and equipment.

He was awarded the Orders of Lenin, 2 Red Banner, Patriotic War 1 and 2 degrees.
