Аннотация

The article deals with the issues of creation and use of aircraft of the type DC-3–PS-84–Li-2 during the war, which was produced in Tashkent. The Second World War showed the superiority and indispensability of aviation technology in the theatre of military operations. If during the First World War aircraft performed mainly auxiliary functions, then during the Second World War aviation became an independent type of military formations and performed a number of tactical tasks in combat conditions. Aviation was used to perform a wide range of tasks. And therefore, since the periods of the war, military aviation has become clearly divided into fighter, assault, airborne cargo and other types.
