Nicholas Megura (July 28, 1920 – November 4, 1988) was a United States Air Force lieutenant colonel. He served in the United States Army Air Forces as a fighter pilot during World War II, and he became an ace with 11.83 aerial victories before he himself was nearly shot down. Megura was able to crash-land his aircraft in neutral Sweden, but was not allowed to fly any more combat missions during the war due to the nature of his release from Sweden.
