The regiment [1] traces its history to the 38th separate reconnaissance squadron of the Western Front , formed on 07/28/08/1941 at the Monino airport on the basis of the 430th assault aviation regiment . Crews for the squadron were recruited from the staff of the Air Force Research Institute , who managed to gain combat experience in the early days of the war as part of 430 cap . The lieutenant colonel became the squadron commander, which indicates the special importance of the tasks of the formed unit. The squadron consisted of two detachments: reconnaissance on Yak-4 , MiG-3 , Pe-2R planes equipped with photo equipment, and LaGG-3 airplanes covering us. 38 Orae was one of the first units to receive Pe-2R reconnaissance aircraft .

Also, sorties were carried out on reconnaissance of enemy airfields, the cities of Mogilev, Orsha, Smolensk, Vitebsk and Yartsevo.
By the end of August 1941, most of the aircraft were shot down or damaged, and some of the pilots were sent back to the Air Force Research Institute . In September, the squadron was replenished, the remains of the disbanded 314th separate reconnaissance aviation regiment joined it.
At the beginning of October 1941, at the cost of heavy losses (5 aircraft were shot down in battle), the squadron was able to detect a breakthrough in Soviet defense in the vicinity of Nikitinka station and accurately establish the composition of the advancing enemy group.
By the beginning of November 1941, three 38 orae pilots made 50 sorties each. They were presented to the title of Hero of the Soviet Union, but were awarded the Orders of Lenin.
