Georgyi Glotov was born in 1913.

He served in 3./7 IAP during the Finnish-Soviet Winter War. This unit was equipped with Polikarpov I-153s.

On 8 March Finnish Blenheims from LeR 4 kept hammering the Soviet troops at the Gulf of Vyborg on 14 bombing missions while the fighters of LLv 24 flew 19 strafing missions. No Finnish aircraft were lost during the day.
It seems that the fighters from 7 IAP continued to intercept the Finnish aircraft and they claimed four Blenheims during the day.
Komissar Nikolay Antonov, major Iosef Khotelev and Pavlov (I-16s) claimed one Blenheim.
Glotov and mladshiy leitenant Nikolay Ivanov of 3./7 IAP (I-153) claimed one Blenheim each.
Il’ya Kaynov, Yevgeniy Petrov and Leitenant Romanov of 5./7 IAP (I-153) claimed a shared Blenheim.

Soviet troops pressed closer to the city of Vyborg on 9 March and the fronts bent but didn’t break. LeR 1 kept a close watch of the enemy ground movements while LeR 2 and LeR 3 kept on the strafing and bombing of the troops in the invasion area and attacked the supply columns.
At 12:20, vänrikki Jouko Myllymäki (Morane MS-330) of LLv 28 claimed an I-16 over Uusikirkko.
At 16:30, two I-153 were claimed shot down over Viipurinlahti. These were claimed by vänrikki Kauko Linnamaa (Fiat G.50bis FA-20) of LLv 26 and Danish luutnantti Mogens Fensboe (Morane MS-320) of LLv 28.
Morane MS-322 of LLv 28 was shot down over Vilalahti at 17:00 and luutnantti Erkki Lupari was wounded.
7 IAP was heavy involved in the combat during the day and was the only VVS units claiming victories during the day when they claimed eight fighters and one bomber.
Starshiy leitenant Vladimir Kurochkin and Franchuck of 1./7 IAP (I-16) claimed two shared enemy fighters.
Kapitan N. M. Kidalinskii of 4./7 IAP claimed an enemy bomber.
Starshiy leitenant Georgiy Zhuikov of 3./7 IAP (I-153) claimed two enemy fighters.
Nikita Doletskiy of 3./7 IAP (I-153) claimed one enemy fighter.
Viktor Karpukhin of 3./7 IAP (I-153) claimed one enemy fighter.
Glotov and mladshiy leitenant Nikolay Ivanov of 3./7 IAP (I-153) claimed a shared fighter.
Mladshiy leitenant Aleksey Nikitin of 3./7 IAP (I-153) claimed one unconfirmed enemy fighter.
No VVS fighters were lost during the day.

Glotov ended the Winter War with 1 and 1 shared biplane victories.

When Germany attacked the Soviet Union in June 1941, Glotov served in 158 IAP, which was equipped with Polikarpov I-16s.

He left 158 IAP in September 1941 when he was transferred to 17 IAP, which was equipped with MiG-3s.
He remained with this unit to January 1942, when he was transferred to 154 IAP.

On 19 March 1942, six Kittyhawks from 154 IAP claimed a shared Ju 88 over the Kovrigina Glad swamp. Known pilots taking part in this combat were Glotov and Yevgeniy Cherntsov.

Glotov flew Kittyhawks with 154 IAP until July when he was transferred to 159 IAP also on Kittyhawks.

He remained with this unit until September 1942 when he was transferred back to 158 IAP, which at this time also had been equipped with Kittyhawks.

Glotov was killed in air combat on 30 September 1942.

At the time of his death, Glotov was credited with 1 biplane victory and a total of 7.
During the war, he had been decorated with the Order of Lenin, the Order of the Red Banner and the Order of the Red Star.
