SOVIET AIR FORCE airfields were either partially or completely out of use in June 1941. Soviet fighters were crowded together on those fields possessing operational runways, thus depriving them of maneuverability, camouflage, or dispersal, i.e., sitting ducks all in a row awaiting the Luftwaffe.I6 Soviet Prewar Air Doctrine The leaders of the VVS, like those of many other air forces in the 1930s, were to some degree attracted to the Douhet doctrine on the role of the strategic bomber-the smashing and terrorizing of the enemy by massive air attacks on his industry and cities. A. N. Lapchinsky, an outstanding theorist of the 1930s, although conceding an important place for independent bomber strikes, nevertheless, held to the Soviet teaching of the “interaction of all arms,” i.e., not to put all emphasis on the strategic bomber. In addition, the adventure in Spain led Soviet airmen to downgrade the effectiveness of high-level strategic bombing, to perceive the dive bomber as capable of far greater accuracy, and to see the main role of air power as close-support for the ground forces. For example, the Field Regulations put out in June 1941 stated that the basic task of aviation was to assist the ground forces in combat operations and to insure control of the air. VVS was specifically given the following missions: to attain control of the air, to assist the ground forces, to provide cover for the troops achieving breakthrough by striking targets deep in the enemy rear, and to conduct air reconnaissance. In cooperating with the ground forces, the air forces were split into Front and Army Aviation, a division that did not work out in practice since it fragmented the air support and made the concentration of forces difficult and centralization of control nearly impossible. In a sense, air supremacy was considered one of the most important missions of the VVS, as successful close support was dependent upon control of the air. The Soviets held that attainment of air supremacy would only be possible through the combined efforts of the air assets of several Fronts plus the aviation of the High Command and the air defense forces. The struggle for control of the air would be carried out in two ways: destruction of the enemy aircraft on the ground and by attrition in air combat. The experience in Spain, however, led the Soviets to favor air combat as the best method, a concept that meant giving the main role to fighter aviation. In the Combat Regulations for Fighter Aviation, 1940, it was clearly stated that fighter aviation was the chief means in the struggle with the enemy for control of the air and had as its basic task the destruction of the enemy aircraft on the ground and in the air.’* Although the fighters were to be the main element in attaining air supremacy, medium- and long-range bombers were scheduled to carry out 187
