Northern Fleet aviation deployment locations: one land airfield in Vaenga (Bolshoy airfield) and three sea airfields: in Gryaznaya Bay near Severomorsk, on Lake Kholmovskoye near Arkhangelsk and on Bolshoy Solovetsky Island. Due to the obvious shortage of forces in the northern direction, during the summer of 1941 the Northern Fleet Air Force was reinforced with 10 MiG-3 aircraft from industry and 22 I-16s from other units of the Naval Air Force; in August, 10 I-153s arrived from the Black Sea Fleet Air Force. The bomber aviation received 9 SBs and 6 Pe-2s. By August 15, 1941, in accordance with the order of the Navy Commission, the White Sea Naval Base was reorganized into the White Sea Military Flotilla, subordinated to the Military Council of the Northern Fleet. The 49th OMRAE and 24th OAZSV were transferred to it. The 2nd aviation group of the Main Directorate of the Northern Sea Route (GU SMP) was formed from the crews and aircraft of polar aviation , under the command of the GSS Colonel I. P. Mazuruk . The headquarters of the aviation group was located in Arkhangelsk. The group was responsible for protecting sea communications and guiding ships. On 28 August 1941, 24 British Hurricane Mk.IIB fighters from 151 Wing RAF landed at Vaenga airfield . The task of the air group was to retrain Soviet specialists, but soon two squadrons were formed (another 15 aircraft were assembled from machine kits delivered by sea), which took part in escorting Allied convoys and covering sea ports. [ 3 ] . In the autumn, the new 78th IAP was formed from Hurricanes. The formation of the regiment was entrusted to Hero of the Soviet Union Captain B. F. Safonov . On September 12, 1941, an air unit of DB-3f aircraft was redeployed from the 1st MTAP of the Baltic Fleet. These three aircraft became part of the 72nd SAP and formed the basis of the mine-torpedo aviation of the Northern Fleet of the USSR. In September 1941, the 22nd OMDRAE of the Baltic Fleet was transferred to the Northern Fleet with Che-2 aircraft . The squadron became part of the 118th MRAP as the 3rd AE. On December 19, 1941, by order of the Northern Fleet Commander, the following composition of the Northern Fleet Air Force aviation regiments was established: 72nd SAP - 1st, 2nd, 3rd IAE, 4th and 5th BAE; 118th MRAP - 1st and 2nd MBRAE, 3rd MDRAE. In January 1942, the 72nd Red Banner Aviation Regiment was renamed the 2nd Guards Fighter Aviation Regiment of the Northern Fleet Air Force (Order of the People's Commissariat of the Navy No. 10 of January 18, 1942). Due to heavy losses, in March 1942, the regiment was transferred to the 78th Fighter Aviation Regiment in full with all its aviation equipment. Hero of the Soviet Union Major B. F. Safonov was appointed commander of the 2nd Guards Mixed Red Banner Aviation Regiment. In March 1942, the 27th IAP was formed on the basis of two squadrons of the 2nd Guards SAP, armed with I-153, I-16 and Hurricane aircraft. By the Directive of the Supreme Command Headquarters No. 170405s of 21.05.1942, in order to ensure the escort of the PQ-16 convoy of ships in the Barents Sea, the commander of the Long Range Division, Lieutenant General of Aviation Golovanov, was ordered to allocate the 36th Air Division to the Vaenga airfield from 22 to 29 May and relocate it. The division was tasked with systematically destroying the following airfields during the specified period: Bardufoss, Stermoen, Tromsø, and Hammerfest. To cover the bombers, it was supposed to use fighter aircraft of the Northern Fleet Air Force, the Karelian Front, and the Air Defense Forces based in the Murmansk area. A similar task was subsequently set for the 36th Air Division in September-October 1942 and in November 1943-January 1944. In accordance with the Order of the People's Commissariat of Defense of the USSR No. 0060 dated March 5, 1942, the 95th Fighter Aviation Regiment of the Air Defense of the Moscow Military District was transferred to the Air Force of the Northern Fleet, where it was renamed the 95th Fighter Aviation Regiment of the Air Force of the Northern Fleet . The regiment was armed with Pe-3 heavy fighters. The regiment's tasks were defined as air cover for allied convoys, bomb-assault strikes on ports and bases, and aerial reconnaissance at sea. This oldest aviation regiment in the Northern Fleet underwent a number of reorganizations and renamings and ended its career on September 1, 2002 (Directive of the General Staff of the Navy No. 730/1/091 dated November 1, 2001).

Petrukhin. The group included the 13th, 20th, 121st, and 255th Fighter Aviation Regiments, as well as the 35th Marine Aviation Regiment. In addition to fighter units, it had also included the 28th and 29th PBAP of the Naval Air Force, which had arrived in the North in June. This group operated until the end of October of that year, after which it was disbanded. The American A-20 attack aircraft was used in the Soviet Naval Air Force as a torpedo bomber and fire support aircraft (suppression of ship air defense). On October 23, 1942, in connection with the disbandment of the OMAG, the 29th BAP and 255th IAP were included in the Northern Fleet Air Force, and the 35th MTAP, 13th IAP, 28th BAP and 20th IAP were withdrawn for reorganization.

At the same time, the 22nd reconnaissance aviation regiment arrived from the Caspian Flotilla. In early 1943, two aviation brigades were formed in the Northern Fleet: the 5th mine-torpedo and 6th fighter. The 5th included the 24th MTAP, 29th BAP and 255th IAP. The 6th included the 2nd, 20th, 28th and 78th fighter aviation regiments. In July, these brigades were renamed into aviation divisions. In total, by mid-summer 1943, the Northern Fleet Air Force had more than 600 aircraft of various types, both domestic and foreign production. In April 1944, the 29th BAP was transferred to the Black Sea Fleet Air Force. On April 28, an order was signed to form the 14th mixed aviation division in the Northern Fleet , consisting of the 95th IAP and the 46th ShAP. In June, the 36th MTAP arrived from the Black Sea Fleet and became part of the 5th aviation division. As of October 1, 1944, the Northern Fleet Air Force had 750 aircraft.
