This year the country will celebrate the 67th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War. But even so many years after the end of that terrible war, its history is full of blank spots. One of these white spots is the history of Soviet fighter aviation, or rather its main tactical formation - fighter aviation regiments. What have we known about them for over 60 years? At first, back in the days of the USSR, everywhere one could find only information about the regiments in which A. I. Pokryshkin and I. N. Kozhedub, sometimes without even mentioning the numbers of the regiments. Moreover, when it came to Kozhedub, for some reason everything was largely reduced to the 176 Guards IAP, in which he flew from the end of August 1944. although in it he won 3/4 of his victories, he took place as an ace. Sometimes information was given about 18 giaps that, after all, they still flew with the Normandy-Niemen.
Materials flashed and the regiment of Lev Shestakov, 9 GIAP, also often without a number and full name, and even then more often associated with the period of the defense of Odessa. Much has been written about the first Twice Hero fighter pilot of the Northern Fleet Air Force B. F. Safonov, but also, as a rule, the number and full name of the regiment were not mentioned. As a kind of breakthrough, I recall now the publication in 1972 of a book about the combat path of the 16th Air Army, where numbers of air regiments, their honorary names and awards were mentioned in large numbers. Over the past 20 years, of course, there have also been some improvements here: thanks, first of all, to aviation enthusiasts, and not to professional military historians, monographs have appeared on the history of a number of fighter regiments of the Great Patriotic War - 32 and 40 Guards IAPs, 402 and 812 iap, a number of other parts. But the fact is that this is a drop in the ocean. Few people know that, according to the lists of the General Staff of the USSR Armed Forces, in the Army in the period from 22.06.41 to 9.05.45 and from 09.08.45 to 3.09.45 in different periods of hostilities there were 420 fighter regiments of the Air Force, Air Defense and Navy aviation … The figure is impressive, especially since little is known about most of them to many who are interested in both the history of aviation and the history of World War II, in particular. It was these considerations that back in the 80s forced me, first bit by bit, fetching out of the then poor for truthful and complete information from sources of that time, to start collecting and systematizing everything related to Soviet fighter aircraft, primarily with its main tactical combat formation - fighter regiments, and try someday to get sufficiently complete and truthful information. And over time, if God willing, then make all this available to everyone who is interested in the history of aviation, as well as military history and the history of the Second World War.
After meeting Mikhail Bykov, who later grew into friendship, the first in our country to collect and systematize a huge amount of information about the Soviet aces during the Great Patriotic War and, as a result, released a wonderful, I am not afraid of this word, work: "Soviet Aces 1941-1945. Victories. Stalin's falcons ", a creative union was born. The result of this alliance is many years of work with archival documents, primarily in the Central Asia Ministry of the Russian Federation (Podolsk), and, practically, 95-97 percent ready material for a reference book on fighter aviation regiments that were part of 1941-1945. the composition of the Army in the field. I want to say right away that there will not be a number of regiments that existed at that time, but were not mentioned in the lists of units that were part of the Army in the Field (for example, 167 IAP, which was in SAVO throughout the war). Moreover, in fact, this will be a brief history of each regiment from the moment of its formation to the moment of its disbandment, including a number of regiments that stopped their history just recently, in 2009, during the so-called military reforms. The emphasis, of course, will be on the period of the war, the full combat path of the regiment will be given, all its awards and honorary names with the numbers and dates of orders, the types of aircraft on which each regiment flew, the results of combat work (the number of sorties, air battles, the number aircraft shot down and destroyed on the ground, other equipment destroyed during ground attacks, their own losses of materiel and personnel). If any regiment participated in pre-war (Lake Khasan, Khalkhin-Gol, Soviet-Finnish war, etc.) or post-war conflicts (Korea), then information about this and the results of combat activities will also be given in full. This directory will not include the air regiments that were formed in the post-war period, starting from 1949 and up to the 80s of the 20th century. The book will provide brief historical information about 420 fighter air regiments. Why short? - Because the complete history of almost every regiment will lead to a full-fledged monograph of several hundred pages, namely: 172 fighter aviation regiments of the Space Force Air Force, which reached May 9, 1945; 92 regiment of the air defense IA that fought on the Soviet-German front; 74 fighter aviation regiments that took part in hostilities, but disbanded in 1941-1943; 45 regiments that fought with Japan in August 1945, but did not take part in the battles on the Soviet-German front; 37 regiments of the Naval Air Force IA, i.e. all four fleets that fought in different periods of the Second World War. Naturally, this work will finally make it possible, in a more or less complete form, to answer such a question, which has been of interest to everyone who, to one degree or another, is engaged in the history of aviation and military history in general, as about the effectiveness of fighter aviation regiments. since the destruction of enemy aircraft in the air is one of the main tasks of the IA. In the work, in addition to full information about the results of the combat work of each regiment, as an appendix will be placed, as they say now, the ratings of the fighter aviation regiments of the Air Force of the spacecraft and the air defense of the Soviet-German front by the number of destroyed enemy aircraft, primarily, of course, shot down in air. We are not talking about battles with Japan in August 1945, because to date, it is known about 7 Japanese fighter aircraft shot down, of which 2 were victories over naval fighters. If we talk about 5 victories of the Air Force and Air Defense, then 3 of them are behind the regiments that were transferred from the West in the summer of 1945. Now about the naval regiments: while there are some difficulties in a number of, first of all, the Baltic, and also the Black Sea air regiments, on the full picture of the results of their combat work in the war, which, in turn, does not allow drawing up the final rating with sufficient reliability. the rating list "will include 338 fighter air regiments of the Air Force and Air Defense (172 Air Force regiments of the spacecraft," surviving "until May 9, 45th; 92 air defense regiments and 74 regiments disbanded during the war). I want to mention right away that the list will not include 338, since a number of regiments, primarily air defense, as well as several disbanded ones, did not have victories. At least, to date, not a single operational and reporting document has been found indicating the victories of the pilots of these air regiments. and how these lists were compiled, I will tell in part 2. I will also publish the rating lists themselves with a number of comments (more detailed than will be given in the appendix, which is being prepared for work).
The main sources that make it possible to determine the results of the combat work of a particular regiment, both throughout the history of the Great Patriotic War in general, and in terms of victories in particular, can be divided into 3 groups.
1. The first group included 172 air force regiments of the spacecraft, which "survived" until May 9, 1945. In this group, everything is relatively simple and clear, tk. On 1945-31-05 Directive of the Air Force Headquarters of the spacecraft No. 639734 was issued, which obliged all air regiments and individual air squadrons of all types of spacecraft aviation by the end of June 1945 to submit to the Organization-Mobilization Directorate of the Air Force Headquarters of the spacecraft "Brief information about the formation and combat work in the war." Each regiment and separate air squadron had to provide complete information, already specified, because all the hostilities were over, all the results were summed up, and the counts of the combat work done for the whole war, with a breakdown for each year of the war, were provided. The document was only called "brief information", but in fact it was a multi-page report, which included several sections: participation on the fronts; combat work (the number of sorties divided by the types of missions performed); the number of enemy aircraft destroyed (in the air and on the ground); the number of destroyed other equipment and manpower of the enemy; its losses of aircraft (combat and non-combat) with division into types and brands; their losses of personnel; the number and types of ammunition consumed; number of remanufactured engines and aircraft; personnel awarded with orders and medals of the USSR (as of early June 1945). A document was drawn up in 4 copies, one copy, respectively, to the regiment, to the division, to the Air Army or the Air Force of the District, to the Air Force Headquarters of the spacecraft. But here, too, there are certain difficulties. The fact is that not all regimental and divisional funds of the Central Asian Ministry of Defense have these certificates, but they are fully available in the army funds, except, for some unknown reason, the 3rd, 4th and 7th air armies, as well as in the fund of the Air Force Headquarters of the spacecraft … But! The documents of the Air Force Headquarters of the SC have not been declassified to this day, and the label "Soviet secret" has not been removed from them to this day. As a result, for 21 regiments out of 172, which were part of the formations of the three air armies I indicated, I have not yet been able to see brief references, although I know where they are. The fact is that the documents of the funds of the Main and Central Directorates of the Ministry of Defense can only be declassified by representatives of these directorates (in this case, the General Staff of the RF Air Force). The last time it was in the summer of 2006. After the beginning of the so-called reform of the Armed Forces, in 2007 and beyond, there was simply no one to deal with this issue - they cut people off. And the archive itself has not yet received the right to declassify these documents, its powers end at the front-line level. Therefore, for twenty-one regiments, the data was formed on the basis of Historical Forms, although, as practice has shown, most regiments' forms, 75-80 percent, are still not entirely accurate, because information was entered in stages, even during the course of hostilities, when far from all the data was clarified. As an example, form 157 IAP: its step-by-step maintenance gives when summing up 320 victories, at the same time, at the conclusion of the section of the form "participation in battles and campaigns" without any reference to anything and without any other numbers, a record suddenly appears - for years war shot down 422 enemy aircraft !!! A brief summary of the regiment gives a completely different number of downed aircraft, nevertheless closer to the first indicator.
2. The second group included 92 air defense fighter air regiments. Here, too, at first glance, everything is quite simple: on July 4, 1945, the Directive of the Commander of Air Defense Fighter Aviation No. 1420956 "On the Results of Combat Activities during the Great Patriotic War" was issued. Each regiment and formation had to submit final reports to the headquarters of the air defense fighter aviation in the prescribed form. The form was significantly different from the brief information in the Air Force of the spacecraft, but it made it possible to fully judge the combat work done. But in this group of regiments, the problem is that not all regimental funds and funds of formations have these reports, but only about 60-65 percent. But the funds of the air defense associations of the times of the war, like the fund of the headquarters of the air defense IA, are not in the CA MO at all, there is only the post-war fund of the country's Air Defense Forces, starting in 1961 (of course, it is classified to this day). Therefore, in relation to the remaining 35-40 percent of the regiments, it was necessary to use data from historical forms, as well as operational documents and current reporting of the formations that included these regiments.
3. And, finally, the third group consisted of 74 regiments disbanded during the war. This is the most difficult group, primarily due to the fact that the funds of many regiments are absent altogether or contain only documents of party and Komsomol organizations. Also, for the period 1941-1942, it is also characteristic that not quite full funds of formations, which included regiments with an insufficiently developed system of monthly reporting on the results of combat work. Therefore, for the third group, many sources had to be used - these are operational reports and reports from various structures (formations, air forces of armies and fronts, air groups), submissions for transformation into guards or for awarding a unit with an order, documents of reserve air brigades and air regiments (due to the fact that that in 1941-1942, due to the practice of completing the regiments with untrained youth and throwing them into battle without appropriate training, where the regiments burned down literally like matches, within one to three weeks, after which the remaining 2-3 aircraft and 1-4 pilots transferred to another regiment, and the regiment's management and headquarters were again sent to the reserve regiment for re-equipment, as a rule, the command of these regiments made reports on a short stay at the front for the reserve regiment), as well as, in some cases, award documents for regimental commanders, as sometimes the only source of obtaining a more or less complete picture, for example, 627 iap. As a result, this group of regiments still has certain gaps in the completeness of information based on the results of combat work.
Now that the main sources have been identified, from which the final data were taken, which also served to compile the rating list of the performance of the regiments, we can proceed to the rating itself. It is composed according to the principle of decreasing the number of victories: the number of the regiment is given (if it is a guards regiment, then its number is given in parentheses before the transformation; as well as if the regiment's number was changed); followed by the number of downed enemy aircraft; the next figure, in brackets, is the total number of enemy aircraft destroyed, including those destroyed on the ground; and the last figures indicate the total number of sorties made by the pilots of this regiment. Additional comments follow if necessary.
