The 770th Fighter Aviation Regiment was formed on January 26, 1942 by renaming the 439th Fighter Aviation Regiment as part of the Air Force of the 8th Army of the Leningrad Front. By the end of 1941 (12/31/1941), the regiment had 6 I-15bis (of which 4 were faulty) and one serviceable I-16 and I-153 [1] . Due to significant losses, the regiment was withdrawn from the front and sent for additional staffing and retraining for the new Yak-1 aircraft.
On February 24, 1942, the regiment arrived at the 13th reserve fighter aviation regiment of the Volga Military District in the city of Kuznetsk, Penza Region, where it mastered the Yak-1 fighters until April 10, 1942.
